A must-see venue and eye-catcher. Part of Minden's historic fortifications.

In order to be able to secure the Cologne-Minden railway line, Forts A, B and C were built in the Minden Fortress Association from 1947. Fort A was completed in 1849 and used for military purposes as planned until Minden Fortress was dismantled.
