Fort VII, 19th-century artillery fort in Toruń, Poland
Fort VII features a pentagonal layout with reinforced concrete structures, gun shelters, and underground passages spanning across its defensive complex.
Constructed between 1879 and 1883, the fort underwent modifications in the 1890s to withstand 150mm artillery fire and received electrical installations in 1894.
The fort stands as a memorial site where over 1500 Polish citizens were imprisoned by German forces during the occupation period of 1939-1940.
Located 4.5 kilometers northwest of Toruń's Old Town Market Square, the fort contains preserved military architecture despite its current deteriorated state.
During the interwar period, the military structure served as a venereal disease hospital before being converted into barracks and storage facilities.
