Toruń Fortress, Military fortress in Toruń, Poland.
The fortress forms a chain of fortifications surrounding Toruń, with seven main forts, six intermediate ones, and numerous artillery batteries and shelters.
The Kingdom of Prussia constructed this defensive complex between 1872 and 1894 to protect its eastern border against potential attacks from the Russian Empire.
The fortress museum, located in former military barracks, presents exhibitions of military equipment, weapons, uniforms, and documents from different periods.
Visitors can explore multiple renovated forts within the complex, which now include educational facilities, restaurants, and accommodation options for tourists.
Fort I, designated as Jan III Sobieski, holds distinction as the first armored fort constructed within the German Empire military system.
