Zegrze Fortress, Military fortress in Zegrze, Poland.

The fortress consists of two main structures connected by earthwork fortification, positioned on an elevated escarpment overlooking the Narew River.

The Russian Empire constructed Zegrze Fortress between 1892 and 1895 to protect the strategic river crossing, later modernizing it from 1902 to 1907.

The fortress complex includes seven ammunition depots, multiple barracks in surrounding areas, and a garrison church that served the military community.

The Large Fortification section of Zegrze Fortress currently belongs to the National Bank of Poland and remains closed to public access.

Fort Dębe and Fort Beniaminów, located across the Narew River, formed part of the defensive network controlled by Zegrze Fortress.
