These cavities in the old ruins are full of mystery.

The fort remains closed. A local association looks after the fort. This association lacks the human resources to open the fort.

The old town of Küstrin is now nothing but forests surrounded by cobblestones and gutters

Huge area, today hardly recognizable as a town or fortress in its entirety. Lots of information boards. More information: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festung_K%C3%BCstrin

The castle is one of the most important buildings of the Kostrzyn Fortress, inextricably linked with it. Erected by the Teutonic Knights, after reconstruction it was the seat of John Hohenzollern. In the 17th and 18th centuries it housed a prison where, among others, The heir to the Prussian throne, Frederick, stayed in 1730–1731. After a fire in 1758, it was rebuilt and turned into a barracks in 1814. In 1945, it was burned and partially damaged, but most of the walls remained. In 1969, the surviving fragments were blown up and demolished. The remains of walls, stairs and cellars have survived to this day, but some of them have already collapsed.

Fort Gorgast, built between 1883 and 1889, is the best-preserved outer fort of the former Küstrin Fortress. It was designed for a crew of up to 310 men (200 to 300 infantrymen and 60 artillerymen) and consists of single-story exposed brick buildings. These include, among other things: the so-called blockhouse (with weapons area, the gatehouse with obstacle bars, drawbridge and guard casemates), the war powder magazine (in the middle barracks), barracks and a well system with an artesian well with a tank, which is still functional today. (Wikipedia) It is run by an association. According to http://www.fort-gorgast.de/ there will be a large antique and junk market on April 14th, 2024. It was closed on January 21, 2024.
