The southernmost fort of the outer ring of the Warsaw Fortress, whose works were erected in 1885–1890; the Kingdom of Poland was then part of the Russian Empire. The fort's brick barracks consist of two parts joined at an angle. From the end of the Second World War until 1990 the site belonged to the Polish Army.

Самый южный форт внешнего кольца Варшавской крепости, укрепления которого возводились в 1885–1890 годах; Царство Польское тогда входило в состав Российской империи. Кирпичные казармы форта построены из двух частей, соединённых под углом. С конца Второй мировой войны до 1990 года территория принадлежала Войску Польскому.
