Meciszewski Caponier

Highlight • Historical Site

The former artillery kennel (also known as a caponier) was built during the expansion of the Modlin Fortress citadel between 1832 and 1844. Before World War I, the building had four stories; from August 1915, only two. Just a dozen or so years ago, a figure of a knight, carved from sheet metal, stood on the building's "terrace." The name "Knight" was familiar among the locals; if you arranged to meet someone at "Knight," you knew where they were. Unfortunately, there's no trace of it left. From the caponier's "terrace," you can see the ruins of a granary and the confluence of the Narew and Vistula Rivers. For several years, a mural referencing the Napoleonic era has been displayed on the citadel's walls (to the right of the stairs).

Ruins of the Modlin Fortress Grain Elevator

Highlight • Historical Site

An artillery tower built around 1900 on a J-shaped plan, made of brick with stone detailing, known as the "elevator" (elevator). Located on the Vistula River, it was two and three stories high, originally covered with earth, now with a roof. On the inner side (courtyard), rooms were designated as soldiers' quarters; on the outer side, these rooms were the combat section of the tower, where cannons could be positioned if necessary. Since there was no military activity during the Russians' stay in the Novogiergievsk Fortress, the Russians converted it into a grain warehouse (elevator) to utilize it. Together with the mill, flour warehouse, and bakery, they formed the so-called "supply line."

Section of the Carnot Wall

Highlight • Monument

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.

Dąbrowski Gate and pillars of the former bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
