The gate was built in 1837. It was located in the curtain wall between Bastions III and IV. The gate is single-story, constructed of brick with reinforced ashlar elements. It was guarded by two artillery positions in two openings on the sides. It received a neo-Gothic façade on the exterior, with one decorative axe surviving to this day. The gate's external thresholds were located high above the fortress ditch at the edge of the ramparts. A wooden bridge once led to the gate, of which only 16 brick pillars remain. The bridge curved slightly closer to the gate so that the gate and the bridge were not aligned during firing. General Dąbrowski Street once began at the bridge. The gate is now a ruin.

To commemorate the heroic struggle, the Monument to the Defenders of Modlin from September 1939 was erected. The unveiling was performed by the commander of the 1939 Modlin defense, Brigadier General Wiktor Thommee, in the presence of numerous soldiers from his September campaign. The ceremony took place on September 29, 1957, the anniversary of the surrender of Modlin Fortress. The initiative to build the monument came from the command of the 15th Bomber Division, and its design was presented by Sergeant Ryszard Lasota, a non-commissioned officer of the Military Police. Two Soviet cannons were added to the monument. The motive was the Red Army's participation in the liberation of Modlin from Nazi occupation. The monument was erected on the site of a monument to Marshal Józef Piłsudski, unveiled in 1928, which was destroyed only in the early 1950s when the Marshal's bust and baton were removed from its pedestal. Until the unveiling of the next monument, this place was forgotten and neglected.

The Reduta lunety Frontu Księcia Warszawskiego is a brick, mushroom-shaped structure with an earthen embankment, part of the Modlin Fortress, serving as barracks and a warehouse, located in the neck of the lunette (a defensive salient). This historical element, built by the Russians (1832-1841) as part of the polygonal fortification system, provided defense and support for the lunette's front battery. It is currently private property

It is a three-story defensive gate dating from 1836, with a central passageway above ground level. During World War I or earlier, a second passageway was constructed in this gate. Later, the narrow-gauge railway tracks were laid through it, running along the Narew River. On the exterior, the gate was equipped with pairs of embrasures on both sides of the passageway on the ground floor and six artillery axes on the first floor. The parapets of all the embrasures are made of stone. The interior of the "Ostrołęcka" Gate features classical architectural features. On this side, the second floor features three semicircular windows, and the arched passageway is framed by pairs of Ionic pilasters. Source: https://www.nowydwormaz.pl/100,brama-ostrolecka

A brick defensive wall with embrasures, either on the slope of a rampart or at its foot in a fortress ditch, used in fortifications primarily in the first half of the 19th century. The wall could contain embrasures for small arms. The purpose of the Carnot wall was to make it difficult for an enemy to cross the ditch. It was first used by the French military engineer General Lazare Nicolas Carnot in his 1772 drawing. Some bricks clearly bear the names of the brickworks where they were made.
