Fortifications of Gdańsk, Military fortifications in Gdańsk, Poland.
The Fortifications of Gdańsk feature a circular battery system with bastions and casemates positioned strategically at the mouth of the Vistula River.
The fortress development began in 1308 with a wooden watchtower, which was replaced by a brick structure in 1482 serving as both a lighthouse and defense point.
The Museum of Gdańsk maintains the fortress complex, presenting military architecture evolution through exhibits of historical weapons and defense systems.
The fortress remains closed for extensive renovations until 2024, though visitors can observe the exterior structures without entrance fees throughout the year.
Wooden underground bunkers beneath the water level contain preserved military equipment, representing centuries of Northern European coastal defense technology.
