Fort GW XIII "San Rideau", Military fortification in Bolestraszyce, Poland.
Fort GW XIII San Rideau exhibits a trapezoidal structure with a 250-meter base, protected by a dry moat and equipped with defensive casemates.
The fort, constructed between 1892 and 1896, formed part of the Fortress of Przemyśl defense system and endured multiple sieges during World War I.
The fort contains three 15-centimeter howitzers and mortars in armored towers, representing late 19th-century military engineering and architectural techniques.
Visitors can explore the above-ground sections of the fort without restrictions, while underground passages require additional precautions due to open trapdoors.
In 1923, workers discovered a Russian soldier who had survived eight years in isolation within the fort's underground chambers after the war.
