In 1915, the German army installed a powerful radio station, very modern for those times, on the citadel. The radio station was taken over by Poles in November 1918 and it was through it that the declaration of the creation of an independent Polish state was broadcast to the world. During the war of 1920, the radio station was used very effectively to jam Russian radio stations, helping in the victory in the Battle of Warsaw.

The citadel served as a prison in former times. Nowadays, it's a tourist attraction with museum founded in 1963.
