Fort II, Military fortification in Bielany, Poland

Fort II incorporates a strategic construction with earthworks designed for infantry and artillery units, surrounded by a substantial dry moat.

Built during the 1880s, Fort II formed an essential component of Warsaw's defensive system during a period of increasing military tensions across Europe.

The fort stands as a representation of 19th-century military engineering, reflecting the architectural and defensive strategies of that period in Polish history.

The northern section of Fort II, adjacent to the Polish Soldiers' Cemetery, contains the most intact structural elements of concrete and brick remains.

The fort underwent significant changes in 1947 when its original 100-meter brick barracks were demolished, followed by the leveling of eastern earthworks in 1970.
