Fort Gorgast, built between 1883 and 1889, is the best-preserved outer fort of the former Küstrin Fortress. It was designed for a crew of up to 310 men (200 to 300 infantrymen and 60 artillerymen) and consists of single-story exposed brick buildings. These include, among other things: the so-called blockhouse (with weapons area, the gatehouse with obstacle bars, drawbridge and guard casemates), the war powder magazine (in the middle barracks), barracks and a well system with an artesian well with a tank, which is still functional today. (Wikipedia) It is run by an association. According to fort-gorgast.de there will be a large antique and junk market on April 14th, 2024. It was closed on January 21, 2024.

The fort remains closed. A local association looks after the fort. This association lacks the human resources to open the fort.
