IV Fort, Military fortification in Kaunas, Lithuania
The IV Fort features a complex network of underground tunnels, bastions, and defensive walls constructed with thick stone and reinforced concrete materials.
Built between 1882 and 1886 under Russian Empire command, this fort formed part of the extensive Kaunas Fortress system protecting western borders.
The fort contains exhibitions of military equipment and documents that demonstrate the evolution of defensive structures in Eastern Europe through centuries.
Visitors can access the fort through guided tours that explain the military architecture and provide information about the defense systems.
The fort incorporates both Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements in its military design, a combination rarely seen in 19th-century fortifications.
