Dęblin Fortress, Military fortress in Dęblin, Poland

The fortification complex stands at the meeting point of the Wieprz and Vistula rivers, featuring multiple defensive structures across both riverbanks.

Russian general Iwan Dehn supervised the construction of this bastion fortress between 1837 and 1847 during the Russian control of partitioned Poland.

The fortress demonstrates the 19th-century military engineering principles through its strategic layout, construction methods, and defensive capabilities.

Visitors can examine seven fortification structures distributed across the riverbanks, with three positioned on the right side of the Vistula River.

The fortress served as Stalag 307 and Oflag 77 during World War II, housing prisoners from Poland, France, Belgium, Senegal, and Italy.
