A fort of the inner ring of the Warsaw Fortress, built in 1886–1890; the Kingdom of Poland was then part of the Russian Empire. After the Second World War the fort was held by the army and a sports club's shooting range operated on the site. In 2004 the Military Property Agency sold the fort within the line of the moat to a private investor, and in 2023 it was bought by the Polish company Arche. The casemates under the rampart, part of the ramparts and the water-filled moat survive.
