FORTE CULTURA Station: Boyen Fortress in the Lötzen fortress system (PL)
Prussian fortress architecture in the heart of the Masurian Lake District
History at your fingertips in one of Europe's most charming landscapes
The Boyen Fortress in Gizycko (formerly Lötzen) was built from 1844 to secure the border of the province of East Prussia against a possible threat from the east and was expanded into a fortress system in the following years. The natural barrier of the Great Masurian Lakes only allowed a few comfortable east-west passages.
Discover the exciting history of the comparatively young fortress system in the "Land of 1000 Lakes" with FORTE CULTURA®. The Boyen Fortress and the town of Gizycko are now tourist highlights of the Masuria region and attract many regional and international visitors every year with their diverse cultural offerings.
