Fort I, German military fortification in Toruń, Poland.
Fort I features four armored towers with 21-centimeter howitzers, extensive underground corridors, ammunition lifts, and fortified observation points across the complex.
Built between 1888 and 1892, Fort I served as the most advanced fortification of the German Empire's eastern territories during the late 19th century.
The Historical Reconstruction Group REX maintains the fort, offering educational programs about military engineering and defensive architecture from the 1890s.
Located at Winna Street 20 in Toruń, the fort welcomes visitors on weekends with guided tours through its underground passages and artillery positions.
Three of the original rotating artillery domes remain intact, demonstrating the technological capabilities of 19th-century military construction methods.
