A fortress on the high northern bank of the Narew, built by Russia in 1892–1895 to cover the river crossing north of Warsaw; the Kingdom of Poland was then part of the Russian Empire. It consisted of two forts linked by a rampart — the Large and Small Works, modernised in 1902–1907. Two barracks complexes, one on each bank of the Narew, and ammunition stores were built for the garrison; the forts of Dębe and Beniaminów were subordinate to the fortress. From November 1918 the fortress was held by Polish troops.

Состояла из двух фортов, соединённых валом, — Большого и Малого укреплений, модернизированных в 1902–1907 годах. Для гарнизона были построены два казарменных городка, по одному на каждом берегу Нарева, и склады боеприпасов; крепости подчинялись форты Дембе и Беньяминув.
