Crown fortress Olomouc, Military fortification in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

The Crown Fortress consists of a central wall with two half-bastions, connecting curtain walls, and an entrance gate measuring 4.7 meters in height.

Constructed between 1754 and 1756, the fortress formed an essential component of Olomouc's defense system, featuring eight cannons positioned during the 1866 preparations.

The Museum of Olomouc Fortress currently operates within the complex, presenting exhibitions about regional military history through artifacts and educational programs.

The fortress maintains regular opening hours for visitors, offering guided tours that explain the architectural elements and military significance of different sections.

The facility contains an artillery storage depot from 1855, while an unrealized plan proposed accommodating 2,000 soldiers through complete casemate construction.
