Kyminlinna is part of the South-Eastern Finland fortification system built by Russia after the Russo-Swedish War of 1788–1790. Kyminlinna formed the northern part of a double fortification, together with Ruotsinsalmi sea fortress, where Kyminlinna was intended to repulse land-based attacks along the King's Road.
