Bastion Żubr, Military bastion in Lower Town, Gdańsk, Poland.
The Żubr Bastion features thick stone walls, multiple defensive levels, and connects to neighboring fortifications through a network of curtain walls.
The construction of this defensive structure in 1600 marked a shift from medieval fortifications to advanced military engineering in northern Europe.
The bastion stands as a testament to Dutch architectural influence on Polish military structures during the 17th century development of Gdańsk.
Visitors can reach the bastion through guided walking tours that start at the Main Town and continue through the historic fortification system.
The bastion retains sections of its original gunpowder storage chambers and underground tunnels from the Napoleonic period modifications.
