Monument of the First Naval Port of the Second Polish Republic

Highlight • Monument

A monument in the form of a plaque with text and an anchor commemorating the first port of the reborn Second Polish Navy. It was unveiled on June 21, 1997, at the initiative of members of the Maritime League Association and the residents of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. The monument is situated on the right bank of the Narew River, directly opposite the entrance to the former naval port located near the Lieutenant Feliks Pancer Bridge.

Kojec Meciszewskiego Viewing Terrace, Modlin Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great place. The artillery pen (position), currently has a viewing terrace at the top.

From the Ostrołęka Gate we go through the barrier (slowly) and reach the western part of the fortress. The road itself leads to the roof of the pen, which is now a viewing terrace with a beautiful view of the Modlin Fortress Granary and the junction of the Narew and Vistula rivers. But before that you can turn onto the green trail and get to the pen itself from the bottom (high urbex potential (#PDK).

Meciszewski Caponier

Highlight • Historical Site

The former artillery kennel (also known as a caponier) was built during the expansion of the Modlin Fortress citadel between 1832 and 1844. Before World War I, the building had four stories; from August 1915, only two. Just a dozen or so years ago, a figure of a knight, carved from sheet metal, stood on the building's "terrace." The name "Knight" was familiar among the locals; if you arranged to meet someone at "Knight," you knew where they were. Unfortunately, there's no trace of it left. From the caponier's "terrace," you can see the ruins of a granary and the confluence of the Narew and Vistula Rivers. For several years, a mural referencing the Napoleonic era has been displayed on the citadel's walls (to the right of the stairs).

Ruins of the Modlin Fortress Grain Elevator

Highlight • Historical Site

An artillery tower built around 1900 on a J-shaped plan, made of brick with stone detailing, known as the "elevator" (elevator). Located on the Vistula River, it was two and three stories high, originally covered with earth, now with a roof. On the inner side (courtyard), rooms were designated as soldiers' quarters; on the outer side, these rooms were the combat section of the tower, where cannons could be positioned if necessary. Since there was no military activity during the Russians' stay in the Novogiergievsk Fortress, the Russians converted it into a grain warehouse (elevator) to utilize it. Together with the mill, flour warehouse, and bakery, they formed the so-called "supply line."
