A military guard post, built by the Austro-Hungarian army to protect the strategic, lattice railway bridge over the Vistula River against an expected armed conflict with Tsarist Russia.
Connection with infrastructure: The facility was erected directly next to the railway line No. 103 (Trzebinia – Spytkowice – Wadowice – Skawce), opened in 1899.
Preserved elements: The outline of the ground floor and the structure of one of the guard towers on the Vistula side are still legible today. Three firing positions with original, armored details have been preserved in this tower.
