What you need to know
- Ongoing restoration work means the museum opens the fortress only conditionally, so some parts may be off limits
- Lighthouse, port guard and prison all in one site, plus a berth for the Polish fleet in its day
- Woods beyond the walls hide old earthwork fortifications and wild plants, worth a walk after the fort
About
The oldest coastal fortress on the Polish coast, built to guard ships entering the port of Gdańsk. At its center stands a round brick tower from 1482 that burned a fire at night as a lighthouse.
Around it, kids explore the four-bastion Fort Carré, vaulted brick rooms, a row of wheeled cannons and the roofed terrace on the ring. Outside the walls, crumbling earthworks sit among the trees.
