Fort VII, Military fort in Poznań, Poland.
Fort VII contains underground chambers and barracks spread across multiple levels, surrounded by thick defensive walls and deep moats at its perimeter.
Between 1939 and 1944, this former Prussian fortification served as the first Nazi concentration camp in occupied Poland, where numerous executions took place.
The Museum of Martyrdom within Fort VII presents exhibits, documents, and personal artifacts that detail the experiences of prisoners during World War II.
Visitors can access Fort VII through guided tours that start at the entrance gate and include detailed information about the structure's military architecture.
In November 1939, Fort VII became the location of the first experimental mass gassing of mental hospital patients by Nazi German forces.
