The fortress was built in the years 1763-1777 by the then ruler of Prussia to protect Silesia captured by Prussia. It is one of the largest facilities of this type in Europe. The fortress has repeatedly participated in many wars, ranging from the Napoleonic wars to World War II. Today, after 250 years, the fortress arouses admiration and ignites the imagination of mystery and treasure hunters. The fortress consists of six forts and several bastions. The greatest admiration is the mighty Donjon, one of the most interesting fortifications. Huge warehouses, wells, armory, chapel, prison, hospital, bakery, brewery, craft workshops and powder magazine made the fortress completely independent and self-sufficient. In the fortress and in the "High Rock" fort, every year during Corpus Christi, the Field Fantasy Role Playing Game "Fantazjada" is organized.
