Barokní městské opevnění, Baroque fortification in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic
The fortress complex features an eight-pointed star layout with walls reaching 10 meters in height and three main entrance gates.
Construction of the fortress occurred between 1766 and 1789 as a replacement for lost border fortifications in Silesia and Kladsko regions.
The fortress represents Vauban military architecture principles, implemented under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Václav Pavlovský and General Jakub Spalart.
Visitors can explore the remaining fortification elements, including the Pivovarská and Pajkrova flošna, which functioned as advanced lunettes.
The fortress included a water defense system that allowed deliberate flooding of the surrounding areas for additional protection.
