Town fortifications Gdańsk - Swan Bastion
The Swan Bastion (Polish: Baszta Łabędź) is a Gothic bastion in Gdansk. It was built on the foundations of the demolished Fishermen's Bastion. The bastion was damaged in 1454 and then rebuilt and raised by one storey. The bastion is located at the Fish Market and forms the northeast corner of the fortifications of Gdansk's Main City. The headquarters of the Polish Maritime Club are located in the bastion. The Hilton Hotel was built next to the bastion.
