Guns (Jasna Góra Monastery) - Czestochowa, Poland - Static Artillery Displays on Waymarking.com

Five guns are located at St. Roch’s Bastion in Jasna Góra Monastery complex.


St. Roch’s Bastion constitutes an integral part of Jasna Góra fortress. It was erected in years 1624-1639 and extended between 1678 and 1681. It was then when the original, smaller bastion was enclosed with a slightly larger one. The rest of the space was filled in with debris and soil.

Since 1991 St. Roch’s Bastion has been under restoration. The works have resulted in the removal of upper layers and the discovery of original walls which witnessed a famous Swedish siege during the Deluge in November and December of 1655. At present a central part of the Bastion is opened to the public, being one of the planned parts of the permanent arrangement of the new Treasury.
