Abstract: We are able to perform the duality transformation of the spin system which was found before as a lattice realization of the string with linear action. In four and higher dimensions this spin system can be described in terms of a two-plaquette gauge Hamiltonian. The duality transformation is constructed in geometrical and algebraic language. The dual Hamiltonian represents a new type of spin system with local gauge invariance. At each vertex $xi$ there are $d(d-1)/2$ Ising spins $Lambd{a}_{mu,u}=Lambd{a}_{u,mu}$, $muequ=1,\mathrm{..},d$ and one Ising spin $Gamma$ on every link $(xi,xi+e_{mu})$. For the frozen spin $Gammaequiv1$ the dual Hamiltonian factorizes into $d(d-1)/2$ two-dimensional Ising ferromagnets and into antiferromagnets in the case $Gammaequiv-1$. For fluctuating $Gamma$ it is a sort of spin glass system with local gauge invariance. The generalization to $p$-branes is given.
