Modlin Fortress, Military fortress in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Poland.
The fortress stands at the strategic confluence of the Narew and Vistula rivers, featuring an elongated hexagonal structure extending 2250 meters in length.
Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the construction of the fortress in 1806, which later served French, Russian, German, and Polish military forces throughout multiple conflicts.
The fortress includes 800 rooms, underground bunkers, and the Tatar Tower observation point, representing significant military engineering achievements of the 19th century.
Visitors can explore the fortress through guided tours, access the observation deck, and learn about military history through detailed exhibitions and preserved structures.
The fortress complex contains the longest building in Europe, with barracks stretching over two kilometers along the Narew River bank.
