Fort XI, Artillery fort in Toruń, Poland.
Fort XI features a pentagonal design with concrete and brick construction, incorporating dry moats, earthen ramparts, and gun emplacements across its defensive structure.
The Kingdom of Prussia constructed Fort XI between 1877 and 1881 as part of the Toruń Fortress complex to protect its eastern border from Russian advances.
The fort walls contain inscriptions and drawings made by international prisoners of war during World War II when it served as part of Stalag XX-A.
Located at Poznańska 150G, approximately 4.2 kilometers southwest of Toruń's Old Town Market Square, the fort requires advance planning for visits.
The structure received additional fortification in 1894 with a meter-thick concrete layer over the barracks to withstand 150-millimeter artillery shells.
