Description
The Boyen Fortress in Gizycko is a fascinating military monument from the 19th century, designed on a hexagonal plan with six bastions and four gates.
Encircled by a 2303-meter-long Carnot wall, this Prussian fortification played a key role during World War I, stopping Russian troops.
Today you can admire the former barracks, workshops, laboratories and a unique pigeon station. The fortress also offers numerous cultural attractions, including the 'Shanty in Gizycko' festival and historical battle reenactments that will transport you back in time.
