Świnoujście Fortress, Military complex in Świnoujście, Poland.
The fortress consists of multiple fortified structures, including Fort Gerharda, Fort Zachodni, and underground installations connected by a network of defensive walls.
Construction of the fortress began in 1848, serving as a strategic Prussian defense point at the Świna River mouth until the conclusion of World War II.
The fortress operates as a military museum with over 10,000 exhibits, including rare artillery pieces and military equipment from the 19th century.
