Castles in Świnoujście are Prussian forts: Gerhard, Angel and Western, plus the whole Świnoujście Fortress, four places from the 19th century.
The town has no castle in the literal sense. The tag covers Prussian defences of the port, of which three forts survive. Other places are listed on what to see in Świnoujście, and strongholds from the whole region are gathered in castles in West Pomerania.
The Świnoujście Fortress is a whole defensive system at the mouth of the Świna, designed by Johann Leopold Ludwig Brese. The Angel, Gerhard and Western forts have survived.
The eastern Gerhard Fort, counted among Europe's finest surviving Prussian shore forts, was built in the 1840s and 1850s. A museum works inside, it is toured in the role of a recruit, and a boat takes visitors there. Angel Fort is a three-tier rotunda of brick topped by a terrace and an observation tower. Today it holds a museum of military architecture and a cafe. Western Fort is home to the Fortress History Museum, where casemates and shelters are open.
No, there are Prussian forts from the 19th century. They carry the castles tag as the closest category for defensive buildings.
On Jachtowa street: Angel at number 2, Western at 4a, so both can be seen in one day.
