Fort Gorgast

Fort Gorgast is a military fortification in the Küstriner Vorland region built with red brick and stone walls designed to withstand artillery fire. The structure includes multiple bastions, casemates, and a network of underground passages that supported troops and supplies during defensive operations.

The fort was completed in 1889 as part of a defensive network protecting Küstrin city on the Oder River. It was constructed during the period when Prussia strengthened its eastern fortifications against potential threats.

The Fort Gorgast association organizes military history gatherings, concerts, and exhibitions within the tunnels and vaults of this preserved structure.

You can walk through the fort independently to view its structures from different angles and explore the outer defenses. Plan your visit during warmer months when the underground areas are more comfortable and the grounds are easier to navigate.

The structure contains a network of underground passages and vaults that create natural sound effects, enhancing the experience of musical performances.
