Osowiec Fortress (Polish Twierdza Osowiec) - a 19th century fortress located in north-eastern Poland, originally built by the Russian Empire. The Russian name is i.e. Krepost Osovets. In English sources it is variously given as Osowiec, Osovets, Ossovetz, Osovetz and Ossovets. It saw heavy fighting during World War I when it was heroically defended for many months by its Russian garrison against German attacks. The fortress was built in the years 1882-1892 as one of the defensive works to protect the western borders of Russia against Germany, and continuously modernised afterwards to cope with advances in heavy siege artillery.
