      Fort Zachodni (Westfort) is located on the island of Usedom, not far from the coast and the mouth of the Świna River. Besides the Fort Anioła (Castel Sant'Angelo), it is the second fort on the island. You can reach the fort from downtown Świnoujście by walking down Mieszka I Street or Wybrzeże Władysława IV Street and then turning onto Jachtowa Street, which leads directly to the West Fort. The path leads past the Zdrojowy Park, Anioła Fort and the marina.
      The Westfort is one of the four forts of the Swinoujscie Fortress. It was built between 1856 and 1861 to protect the harbor from enemy ships. At that time the fort was a one-story redoubt on a square floor plan. A few years later, brick side wings, an earth wall and a moat were added. After 1878 a coastal defense battery with an artillery terrace and casemates was built here, which was later expanded into a redoubt fort with additional cannon posts.
