    The impressive two-storey building
    of the engineer arsenal is built
    close to the Alexander gate most
    probably from 1840 to 1844. The
    length of the Empire-style external
    façade of the three joint buildings
    is 275 m. Surface of the building is
    7000 m2. The courtyard is 2000
    m2 large. The former arsenal
    building is architectural monument
    of State significance. The building
    has preserved its ramps (rampants)
    going to the second floor of the
    building from the yard.
    The engineer arsenal was used to
    make and repair armament supplies,
    tooling for fortification and combat
    engineer measures. The building
    included paint, carpenter, wheel,
    turners, woodworking, locksmiths,
    casting, drawing, pattern and other
    shops.
    For the time being there is not
    enough information on the use of
    the building from 1918 to 1947.
    During the Soviet years the building
    was used as job training workshops
    and garages. Since 1993 the
    building is not used anymore and is
    decaying. It is expected that in future
    the building could house a museum
    of Daugavpils fortress history.
