Fort Frederick William

Fort Frederick William features a circular design with a four-story brick structure, measuring 33.9 meters in exterior circumference and containing 28 sections with firing windows.

The fort, constructed between 1805 and 1829, formed part of the Koźle Fortress defensive complex and later transformed into a brewery in the early 20th century.

The structure represents French military engineering principles through its design by Marc René de Montalembert, who emphasized strategic artillery positioning for fortress defense.

Located along Portowa Street near the village of Kłodnica, the fort currently stands within a restricted area and requires special permission for visits.

The fort contains two round staircases and ground-level shelters adjacent to its central courtyard, with original wooden ceiling consoles still visible inside.
