Fort X "Augustówka", Military fort in Mokotów district, Poland

Fort X Augustówka consists of two earthen mounds situated in a former marshy area near the Vistula River, enclosed by a thirty-meter-wide moat.

The fort, constructed in the 1880s as part of Warsaw's outer fortification ring, served defensive positions for Polish forces in 1939 and German troops in 1944.

This military structure, part of the Warsaw Municipal Register of Monuments, represents Russian fortification engineering from the late nineteenth century.

The fort area currently functions as a recreational space with cycling paths around the moat and facilities for airgun shooting competitions.

Located on an artificial island created after the flood of 1884, the fort incorporated a natural riverbed instead of a traditional moat on its neck side.
