One of the largest fortresses in Europe now complements the FORTE CULTURA stations in Poland. The Modlin fortress system is located 30 minutes north of Warsaw at the strategically important confluence of the Vistula, Narew and Wkra rivers. The Swedish King Karl Gustav first utilised the advantage of the location in 1660 and built a fortified camp. Napoleon had a fortification system built from 1809, which fell to Russia in 1813 and was extended in several stages until 1915. Today, the Fundacja Nasza Historia is developing parts of the fortress for sustainable use. FORTE CULTURA travellers can look forward to an exciting location with many impressions.
