The Angel's Fort (Fort Aniola) in Swinoujscie at Baltic Sea, Poland - part of historical Prussian fortress
The Angel's Fort was built in 1845-1858. It is a replica of Hadrian's Mausoleum (today - Castel Sant Angelo in Rome). Ange's Fort is a part of former Prussian Swinoujscie Fortress.
Fort Anioła (Engelsburg of “Angel Fort”, Werk III) on Uznam Island.
The tower Fort (1854–58) is situated on the left bank of the Swine River and was intended to protect the Swine estuary together with Fort Gerhard on the opposite side. The regular pentagonal layout was surrounded with a double wet ditch and
a rampart. Gun positions were placed in the tower casemates, on the rampart and on the terrace. A Soviet radio post was located here in the post-war period. The fort owes its name to its similarity to the eponymous mausoleum of the Roman emperor Hadrian.
