Fort XIV, Military fort in Toruń, Poland.

The fort features a four-meter deep water-filled moat extending 35 meters wide, with two entrance gates connected by a fixed bridge structure.

Built between 1889 and 1893, Fort XIV served as an infantry installation capable of housing 300 soldiers and later functioned as a camp hospital during World War II.

The fort represents late 19th-century military engineering, displaying the architectural elements of defense structures from the German fortification period in Poland.

Located at Włocławska Street 34/36, approximately 4.4 kilometers south of Toruń's Old Town Market, the fort remains under private ownership.

The water-filled moat surrounding the fort resulted from unexpected water accumulation on clay substrate rather than intentional design considerations.
