Gdov is
a town in Pskov
Oblast, Russia, situated on the
river Gdovka,
just two kilometers from its outflow into
Chudskoye Lake. Population: 5,171. Gdov was
founded in the 14th century, as an outpost guarding the city
of Pskov. In 1431–1434, Pskovians built a fortress
there, remains of which can be seen so this very day. The town
was attacked on numerous occasions by Swedes and Poles during
the Russo-Swedish War, 1590-1595 and Ingrian War, but was finally
returned to Russia in 1617.
