Fort Tscha

Fort Tscha spans 70,000 square meters with brick casemates and protected shelters, featuring a distinctive five-pointed layout within Warsaw's defensive system.

Built between 1886 and 1890 as part of the Russian fortress system, the fort protected the southwestern flank of Warsaw and the main route to Krakow.

The fort's name derives from German transcription of the Russian letter Щ, representing the former village of Szczęśliwice, now part of Warsaw.

Located at coordinates 52.2068 latitude and 20.95 longitude, the fort remains open for public visits despite its current deteriorated condition.

During the 1890s, the structure transformed into a supply fort, and after World War II, 150 garages were constructed inside its interior until 2005.
