Szaniec Szwedzki, Archaeological fortification in Osobowicki Forest, Wrocław, Poland.
The rectangular settlement features rounded corners and stands at 126 meters above sea level on a partially raised sand dune elevation.
Archaeological evidence indicates continuous habitation from 900 BC to 450 BC, spanning the Bronze Age through the early Iron Age period.
The site gained a Wilhelm I viewing tower in 1902, designed by Karl Klimm, which served as a central point for city observations.
The location within Osobowicki Forest provides access through marked walking paths and remains open for public visits throughout the year.
Military authorities ordered the demolition of the viewing tower in 1945 during preparations for the defense of Festung Breslau.
