One of several forts located around Poznań, this one is quite infamous as it became concentration camp during Second World War with the purpose to purge undesirables (Jews and local elite). Later it became only transient concentration camp with inmates being sent to larger locations. Museum here focuses mostly on this disturbing part of the history.

Small artificial lake with a beach and a little culinary infrastructure and a pedalo rental. Nice green scenery and many paths around lake. Disturbing fact worth noting is that lake was built during Second World War using forced labour and paved with tombstones seized from Jewish cemeteries.

Zamek Cesarski w Poznaniu
Erected 1905-1910 by Franz Schwechten, the Berlin court architect of German emperor Wilhelm II. The huge neo-Romanesque building, which alludes to medieval constructions, was officially opened by the Emperor. It was the seat of Polish President in the inter-war period and Hitler's residence during World War II, when it was remodeled under the Albrecht Speer. The dominating element of the building is the Tower, originally 74-m high, after World War II was lowered (due to the damage in the lat period of the war) by about 20 m. In the Rose Courtyard (opposite site to the main entrance) one can find a fountain modeled on the 13th century lions fountain in Allhambra (Spain). The castle houses the Castle Culture Centre, the Animation Theatre and many other institutions. It's also a place of many exhibitions, meetings, concerts and festivals.
