Tukuk-OS🏰 Fort Beniaminów
Poland · Europe · 52.44°N, 21.10°E
Fort Beniaminów is a military installation in Beniaminów, some 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Warsaw. Designed by a Polish-born Russian General Konstanty Wieliczko, the fort was constructed in 1904 as part of the outer ring of defences of the Warsaw Fortress. Conveniently located near the southern bank of Bugonarew, it was to shield the then-Russian city of Warsaw from an enemy force trying to attack it from the East: possibly a German Army trying to outflank the Russian army from East Prussia. It was to cooperate with two earlier forts in Wawer and Kawęczyn and two more modern forts in Pustelniki and Maciołki.
