Fort II, 19th century military fort in Toruń, Poland.
Fort II features a network of underground passages, fortified walls, and strategic artillery positions designed to protect the eastern approach to Toruń.
The fortress, constructed between 1878 and 1882 under architect Hans Alexis von Biehler, served as a defensive structure against potential Russian military advances.
Fort II stands as a testament to European military engineering, demonstrating the evolution of defensive structures during the industrial age.
Visitors can participate in guided tours every Friday and Saturday, with guides wearing period uniforms to enhance the educational experience.
The fort maintains its original mechanical devices and serves multiple functions, including a venue for gingerbread decoration workshops and winter camps.
