Łomża Fortress, Military fortress in Łomża, Poland
The fortress consists of three primary forts positioned along the Narew River, featuring reinforced concrete bunkers, trenches, and defensive barriers.
Between 1896 and 1914, the Imperial Russian Army constructed the fortress complex as part of their defensive strategy along the western border.
Local museums display artifacts and documents from the fortress, presenting the military architecture and defense systems of early twentieth century Poland.
Visitors can reach the fortress remains through marked paths from Łomża city center, with guided tours available during summer months.
During September 1939, Polish forces at the fortress successfully repelled multiple German attacks before conducting an organized withdrawal.
