Fort V, Artillery fort in northern Toruń, Poland.
Fort V extends across 4.26 hectares of land, featuring a pentagonal layout with 14 open artillery positions and concrete-brick construction along the defense line.
The construction of Fort V, originally named Fort III Scharnhorst, occurred between 1878 and 1884 with a total cost of 2,434,202 German marks.
The fortification represents the military engineering practices of the late 19th century through its strategic layout and architectural elements within the Toruń defense system.
While the fort remains closed for public access due to structural conditions, visitors can observe its exterior features from Polna Street in Toruń.
The fort retains numerous original military elements from its construction period, including combat slopes and marked fore-slopes around its perimeter.
