Fort Grębałów, Military fortification in Kraków, Poland

Fort Grębałów features four armored casemates with gun positions, thick defensive walls, and specialized shelters designed to protect artillery installations.

The fort was constructed between 1897 and 1899 under the Austro-Hungarian Empire as part of an extensive defensive ring protecting the strategic city of Kraków.

The fortification represents late 19th-century military engineering principles with its defensive architecture and strategic placement overlooking the Vistula River plain.

Located at Geodetów Street 24 in Kraków, the fort currently operates as an equestrian school offering riding lessons for children and young people.

The fort contained four M.94 caliber 8-centimeter cannons mounted in rotating armored towers, supported by additional artillery and machine gun positions.
