As a result, we got a loose island, in the center of which a fortress was built in the shape of a star with 4 rays. The service here was very difficult for the soldiers. Humidity levels that were too high had a negative impact on human health. Many of them had persistent colds and rheumatism. In 1767, a military school began operating on the island. After the Duke died, a state prison was opened here.

 

The shape of the island is a square with sides of one hundred meters each. Currently, the fortress has been preserved, it stands surrounded by trees. There is also a museum, a hotel for tourists, a souvenir shop and a cafe. The island is owned by the descendants of the same duke. True, the territory itself has now become a tourist attraction that brings considerable income.
