(PL)
Moat of Fort X ("Augustówka", "Siekierki") - one of the forts of the outer ring of the Warsaw Fortress, built in the 1880s. Due to its location in a marshy area, close to the banks of the Vistula, the fort's builders did not equip it with any brick or concrete shelters, giving it the shape of an earthen, two-rampart battery surrounded by a wet moat. The fortification closed the Vistula valley. In 1913, as part of the liquidation of the fortress, some of the fort's elements were destroyed. In 1939, Polish troops defended themselves based on the fort, and in 1944, German troops defended it. After the war, a military shooting range was established on its premises.
