Apie Liepojos tvirtovės pabūklus
Šiaurinėje tvirtovės dalyje buvo viena iš keturių pakrančių gynybos baterijų – baterija Nr.1, tačiau tvirtovės likvidavimo metu jos ginkluotė nebuvo pilnai įrengta.
Šiaurinėje tvirtovės dalyje buvo pastatyta viena iš keturių pakrančių gynybos baterijų – Baterija Nr. 1. Baterijoje buvo planuojama talpinti šešis 1892 m. modelio 6 colių (152 mm) Canet pabūklus, šešis 1887 m. modelio 11 colių (280 mm) pabūklus ir du 57 mm „Nordenfeld“ priešpriešinius pabūklus. Tik Canet sistemos pabūklai turėjo pakankamai ilgą šaudymo nuotolį, kad atlaikytų galimą Vokietijos karinio jūrų laivyno ugnį. Todėl tvirtovės likvidavimo metu ginkluotė buvo įrengta tik iš dalies.

Liepāja Northern Fort and Battery Nr.1 in Karosta
The Northern Forts are the best known and visually most impressive part of the Liepāja Fortress. Built by the Russian tsarist army in the late 19th century, their historical name is Fortress Battery No 1.
In November 1908, less than 10 years after its construction, the Liepāja Fortress ceased to operate, because its construction was acknowledged as a strategic mistake. Some of the cannons were dismantled and taken to the Kaunas Fortress in Lithuania, while others were remelted. Fortification structures were detonated twice in an attempt to destroy the fortifications. Elements surviving to the present day include artillery batteries not fully destroyed in the explosions and underground structures. Just like the Karosta, the Northern Forts were a closed military territory during the Soviet occupation. Visitors to the Northern Forts should be very careful. As in other places on the Latvian coast, the steep shore of the Baltic Sea in the Karosta is dangerous due to potential coastal landslides. Therefore, it is not allowed to walk under the ruins of the forts.
In the northern part of the fortress was located one of the four coastal defence batteries, Battery No.1. The battery was to house six 6-inch (152 mm) guns of the 1892 model of the Canet system, six 11-inch (280 mm) guns of the 1887 model and two 57 mm Nordenfeld anti-ship guns. Only the guns of the Canet system had a long enough firing range to withstand possible shelling by the German Navy. Thus, at the time of the liquidation of the fortress, the armament was only partially installed.
Liepāja coastal artillery battery No. 2
Among the many objects of Liepāja Karosta, Liepāja coastal artillery battery No. 2 is still the most mysterious place in Liepaja. In battery no. 2, the ammunition depots of the troops of the various existing powers were always installed.
Liepaja Fortress Battery No. 2 was built further from the coastline and was protected by a high rampart. The batteries were armed with 16 11-inch (280 mm) mortars of the 1877 model. After the fortress was dismantled, ammunition warehouses were set up here. Due to the danger of explosions, the territory was closed to the public and guarded for 130 years, but now there is an exposition about the activities of the 1st Kurzeme Division Headquarters in the years 1919-1940s, as well as photo evidence of the 1st Liepāja Infantry Regiment, the 2nd Ventspils Infantry Regiment and the Kurzeme Artillery. regiment.
