Fort № 11 Denkhoff

Fort Denkhoff features a hexagonal structure surrounded by a water moat, with two guard towers and an armored observation post at its center.

Built between 1877 and 1882, Fort No. 11 formed part of the defensive ring protecting Königsberg, later becoming a regional cultural heritage site in 2007.

The fort contains military exhibits, including preserved ammunition lifting mechanisms, showcasing 19th-century German fortification engineering and defense technology.

The fort offers guided tours four times daily at 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00, with entrance fees ranging from 100 to 200 rubles per person.

During the 1945 capture of Königsberg, the fort garrison surrendered without resistance while observing the burning city from their armored observation dome.
