Fort Jazuicki, 17th century sconce in Gdańsk, Poland
Fort Jazuicki features a circular battery with bastions and casemates designed to house artillery installations along the defensive perimeter of Gdańsk.
The fort began its construction around 1600 and played an essential role in defending the strategic port city during the Swedish Wars and Napoleonic conflicts.
This military structure represents the evolution of Northern European fortification techniques, incorporating both defensive capabilities and maritime navigation functions.
The fortress remains closed for renovations until 2024, though visitors can explore the exterior grounds and observe the architectural elements from outside.
Beneath the fortress lie wooden underground bunkers submerged in water, which now contain a collection of historical weapons and military artifacts.
