When is the next one?

The 2027 date isn't out yet. The 2026 edition was a single Saturday in mid-June, and the fortress posts the date and program on its events page.

How long is the battle?

In 2026 the 1807 siege reenactment started at 4pm and ran about an hour. A guided fortress tour and the crafts trail ran earlier in the day, so arriving late morning lets you fit everything in.

Can we eat or stay overnight at the fortress?

Yes. The fortress runs its own hostel and restaurant, which makes it easier to stay for the night artillery show instead of driving back to Wrocław late.

Is there anything indoors?

Yes. The multimedia route "How the Fortress Was Built" uses films, animations and interactive stations, and the guided tour goes into the Donjon and its casemates.

About

Once a year, Srebrna Góra Fortress, an 18th-century hilltop stronghold billed as Europe's largest mountain fortress, fills with Napoleonic-era reenactors from Poland and abroad. Kids can wander the soldiers' camps, watch drill and a historical fashion show, then see a staged siege from 1807 with infantry and cannon. A crafts trail lets younger kids shape clay pots and tiles and watch replica building machines at work.
