UNESCO World Heritage Site, historical layer / disappeared object
A territory along the shore of the Gulf of Finland, from the Voronka River to Peterhof (about 65 km long and 25 km deep). It was formed on 16 September 1941 after German forces broke through to the Gulf of Finland in the region of Uritsk. The Oranienbaum Bridgehead was held by Red Army units with the support of coast artillery and naval gunfire from the Baltic Fleet; a connection between the Oranienbaum Bridgehead and Leningrad was established through the Gulf of Finland and Kronstadt.
