Fort Krzesławice, Artillery fort in northeastern Kraków, Poland
Fort Krzesławice features a pentagonal structure with earthen embankments, dry moats, and defensive positions designed for mounting heavy artillery installations.
The fort underwent transformation from an earth and wooden structure to a brick artillery fortification between 1881 and 1886 as part of Kraków's defense system.
The fort now functions as a Youth Cultural Center, offering music, dance, theater programs and educational activities for over 12,000 participants annually.
Visitors can access the fort's grounds and participate in various educational workshops by contacting the cultural center for reservations and scheduling.
Between 1939 and 1941, the fort's moat became a burial site for 440 Nazi victims, now commemorated by a memorial monument near the grounds.
