Kostrzyn nad Odrą Fortress, Military fortress at confluence of Oder and Warthe rivers, Poland
The fortification complex includes the Berlin Gate, Kietzer Gate, and three bastions connected by thick defensive walls near the rivers.
The fortress gained notoriety in 1730 when Frederick William I ordered the execution of Hans Hermann von Katte in front of Crown Prince Friedrich.
The museum in Bastion Philipp presents exhibitions about the military heritage, including artifacts from the Seven Years War and World War II.
Guided tours through the fortress grounds start at the tourist information center located inside the restored Berlin Gate building.
The old town section within the fortress walls contains only foundation stones and cellars, leading to its designation as Pompeii on the Oder.
