Coastal Battery No. 9
On the north end of Naissaar lie the ruins of Coastal Battery No. 9, built in 1914–1916 as part of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress, which was meant to shut the Gulf of Finland to enemy fleets. It had four 8-inch guns in two armoured turrets with 30-centimetre steel walls, ammunition cellars below them linked by an 80-metre concrete tunnel, and a branch of the island's narrow-gauge railway. In February 1918, before the German advance, retreating Soviet forces blew up much of it. The command post and power station survive in fair condition.

Naissaare põhjaosas on rannapatarei nr 9 varemed. See ehitati aastatel 1914–1916 Peeter Suure merekindluse osana, mis pidi Soome lahe vaenlase laevastikule sulgema. Patareil oli neli 8-tollist kahurit kahes soomustornis 30-sentimeetrise teraskestaga, nende all laskemoonakeldrid, mida ühendas 80 meetri pikkune betoontunnel, ning sinna viis saare kitsarööpmelise raudtee haru. 1918. aasta veebruaris, enne Saksa vägede pealetungi, õhkisid lahkuvad Nõukogude väed suure osa patareist. Komandopunkt ja jõujaam on säilinud rahuldavas seisus.
