This 15th-century fort once guarded the entrance to the Vistula, and thus to most of Poland, as the river flows right through it. You can take a tour of the ramparts, from where you'll have a breathtaking view of the shipyard, located just across the Vistula. Originally a Gothic lighthouse tower (1482), it was later surrounded by a bastioned fort (1572), and enriched with garrison quarters in the 17th century. You can reach the fortress by bus or on foot (20 minutes from Westerplatte).

La forteresse Wisłoujście.

La forteresse est ouverte aux visiteurs seulement dans la saison de Juin à la fin de Septembre.

La forteresse est située juste à côté du canal du port. Jusqu'au 16ème siècle, elle était située directement sur le bord de la mer.
À cause des activités créatives des eaux marines et de la Vistule, la péninsule de Westerplatte a été formée, qui la séparait de la mer.
À cette époque-là les vagues frappaient sur les murs de la forteresse , et le feu sur sa tour montrait les navires la voie au port de Gdansk.
D'où le nom traditionnel de la forteresse - Phare.
