Fuerte IV
Fort IV (Street Chrobrego 86, Toruń) – this fort was built in 1878-84 as one of the defenses of this town – built by the Prussians who occupied that part of Poland. Incredibly, a bed & breakfast hotel actually exists within this fort. The town of Toruń is located 2 ½ hours northwest of Warsaw (via route E77).
For those who are simply visiting these grounds, the sightseeing route around the Fort begins at its right wing, leading through the entrance yard with the guardhouse and the stables, then over the bridge to the main gate and the gorge casemate barracks, through the main path into the war gunpowder magazine, the front casemate block with the armored artillery and infantry observation posts, the upper rampart with the emergency shelters and the artillery depot, and the shell casemates of the scarp’s shooting gallery. Individual sightseeing costs 5 ZŁ (normal, 3 ZŁ (reduced), with group tours (in English and German) running at 100 ZŁ per group (120 ZŁ at night).
