To support the garrison needs, a
considerable number of various
warehouses were located in the
fortress territory. Three bastions
facing the bridgehead were used for
powder magazines. Today two of
them can be seen in the 7th and 8th
bastions. The inside of the bastion
is made as a room surrounded by a
safety gallery (to protect from fire
and humidity) – here gun powder
was kept in special barrels. It is
probable that originally powder
magazines were thatched with
turves.
In the yard of the 8th bastion a long
provisions magazine building (1834-
1837) is located that was used to
store the fortress food supplies. This
building was particularly guarded
during the Soviet years since it was
used as baggage and armament
magazine (Nikolaja Street 9).
A warehouse for pontoons of the
Birago system was placed in the
citadel corner opposite to the 3rd
bastion (head of Aleksandra Street).
These sheds have been partially
preserved till our days.
