Owcza Góra Fort in Kłodzko, Military fort in Kłodzko, Poland
The fort stands on the southeastern slope of Owcza Góra hill, featuring a star-shaped shield wall with reinforced caponiers at the corners.
Construction began in 1743 under Christian Friedrich von Wrede's supervision, following plans by Gerhard Cornelius de Wallrave to strengthen Prussian defenses.
The structure represents 18th-century military architecture with two major sections, the Lower Crown and Upper Crown, connected through a network of trenches.
The fortress remains open to visitors who can explore the original stone fortifications and learn about regional military history through educational displays.
Four additional lunettes were constructed after 1750 to enhance the defensive capabilities, while underground mining tunnels were partially completed.
