Fort VI, Military fortress in Toruń, Poland

Fort VI features a pentagonal structure with preserved barracks, casemates, staircases, earthen shelters, and observation points along its defensive perimeter.

Built between 1889 and 1893 as Fort IIIa Dohna, this intermediate artillery fort formed part of the external defensive ring protecting the city.

The Kurkowe Bractwo Strzeleckie, a traditional shooting organization, maintains and operates within the fortress grounds throughout the year.

Located at Szosa Chełmińska 204/210, approximately 3.5 kilometers north of the Old Town Market, the fort is accessible through specific bus routes.

During its 1912-1914 modernization, the fort received electrical systems and Caragana shrubs for natural camouflage of its military installations.
