A fortress at the confluence of the Wieprz and the Vistula, built by Russia to designs by Engineer-General Ivan Dehn; the Kingdom of Poland was then part of the Russian Empire. The foundation stone was laid in 1832, the main works began in 1837, and by 1845–1847 a pentagonal citadel with three bastions and two half-bastions had been built, containing two-storey defensive barracks with a total length of 1.5 km. Lunettes were added in 1849–1853, and from the late 1870s the fortress was surrounded by a ring of seven brick-and-earth forts. Russian troops left it in August 1915; in 1918 the fortress was taken over by the Polish Army.
