Fort Wawer, 19th century military fort in Wawer district, Warsaw, Poland.

Fort Wawer occupied 2 hectares of land and featured a regular outline design as part of the Warsaw Fortress defense system.

Built between 1892 and 1893, the fort served as a strategic point in the Warsaw-Zegrze-Modlin defense triangle until its decommissioning in 1909.

The fort grounds were transferred to the Wawer municipality in 1936 by the President of Poland for public use and development.

The former fort location has been transformed into Mother's Park, which now serves as a recreational space for local residents.

During the 1920 Polish-Soviet War, the partially dismantled fort was temporarily restored for defense against the Red Army.
