Podlasie jest pełne magii, #Narew to piękna rzeka, uchwycona w okolicy Nowogrodu koło Łomży

Modlin Fortress, Granary, Poland

Built in 1844 at the mouth of the Narew to the Vistula. Designed by the Polish architect Jan Jakub Gay. In addition to storage tasks, it could have defensive functions, because on the first floor it was equipped with openings adapted to fire both artillery and firearms. It served as a grain warehouse until 1853, i.e. until it was purchased by the then military authorities from the Bank of Poland, intended for a warehouse of sapper equipment (it was used for this purpose until September 1939).

During the bombing of 1939, the granary was burned inside by incendiary bombs, but its thick walls survived and it remained in this condition until the end of the war. After the war, on the order of the communist authorities, the building was demolished, which was stopped by prof. Jan Zachwatowicz, chief architect rebuilding Warsaw. The west wing has already been demolished.

In 1999, the building played the role of the Horeszko Castle in the adaptation of Adam Mickiewicz’s poem Pan Tadeusz, directed by Andrzej Wajda.
