context_page_description: Toruń Fortress, built from 1872–1894 by the Kingdom of Prussia and located in Thorn, is one of the largest fortresses in Central and Eastern Europe. The fortress complex – a chain of forts surrounding the city, as well as numerous smaller fortifications supplementing it – was intended to defend the eastern border of Prussia. Despite much planning and investment, the fortress did not play a significant role in the First World War nor in any later conflict.
context_section_description: The Thorn Fortress complex is currently composed of 15 forts (seven artillery and eight infantry) as well as many smaller fortifications.
caption: Main gate of Fort IV (former II) gives both the past and present names - "Yorck - Żółkiewski".
