We're leaving the castle now. please turn left and walk along the castle bridge. we're entering krepostnaya ploshad, the former tyrglis knutson square, and now we're walking through the gate marked by two female figures placed opposite each other. the figure on the right symbolises trade; the one on the left depicts industry. you can see a statue in the middle of the square. it is a statue of tyrglis knutson, the founder of the castle. the building right behind the statue was built in the 17th century to house vyborg's town hall; later it was rebuilt several times and finally it was turned into a block of flats. we are now walking up krepostnaya street and we're then taking the first turning to the right. we can see the ruins of the old cathedral. its oldest parts probably date back to the end of the 15th century. the bell tower that you can see behind the ruins is one of the most important landmarks in the city. we are now going back to krepostnaya street. let's walk up it and turn left. going down the street, the building on your left is the former vyborg roman catholic church named after st. hyacintus. the small natural stone house in the middle of the site on the right, opposite the church, is one of the town's oldest buildings. we go on walking street and stop at the crossing. the street on the right leads to the round tower, which was built in 1547-1550 to protect one of the gates in the medieval wall of vyborg. nowadays it is a very popular restaurant and contains original interiors. можно небольшой пересказ текста
