The central fortress of Komárno consists of the Old Fortress, built from 1546, and the 17th-century New Fortress; until 1968 it housed units of the Czechoslovak army. From mid-October 1968 the fortress was gradually taken over by Soviet troops, and a motor rifle regiment was stationed here. In December 1990 the Old and New Fortress were handed over to the Czechoslovak army, and later they became the property of the town.
Центральная крепость Комарно состоит из Старой крепости, строившейся с 1546 года, и Новой крепости XVII века; до 1968 года в ней размещались части чехословацкой армии. С середины октября 1968 года крепость поэтапно принимали советские войска — здесь стоял мотострелковый полк. В декабре 1990 года Старая и Новая крепость были переданы чехословацкой армии, а позднее перешли в собственность города.
