A brick defensive wall with embrasures, either on the slope of a rampart or at its foot in a fortress ditch, used in fortifications primarily in the first half of the 19th century. The wall could contain embrasures for small arms. The purpose of the Carnot wall was to make it difficult for an enemy to cross the ditch. It was first used by the French military engineer General Lazare Nicolas Carnot in his 1772 drawing. Some bricks clearly bear the names of the brickworks where they were made.

An artillery tower built around 1900 on a J-shaped plan, made of brick with stone detailing, known as the "elevator" (elevator). Located on the Vistula River, it was two and three stories high, originally covered with earth, now with a roof. On the inner side (courtyard), rooms were designated as soldiers' quarters; on the outer side, these rooms were the combat section of the tower, where cannons could be positioned if necessary. Since there was no military activity during the Russians' stay in the Novogiergievsk Fortress, the Russians converted it into a grain warehouse (elevator) to utilize it. Together with the mill, flour warehouse, and bakery, they formed the so-called "supply line." Source: https://Twierdzamodlin.pl/Twierdza-modlin/najciekawsze-budowle/#elewator

A monument in the form of a plaque with text and an anchor commemorating the first port of the reborn Second Polish Navy. It was unveiled on June 21, 1997, at the initiative of members of the Maritime League Association and the residents of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki. The monument is situated on the right bank of the Narew River, directly opposite the entrance to the former naval port located near the Lieutenant Feliks Pancer Bridge.

The former artillery kennel (also known as a caponier) was built during the expansion of the Modlin Fortress citadel between 1832 and 1844. Before World War I, the building had four stories; from August 1915, only two. Just a dozen or so years ago, a figure of a knight, carved from sheet metal, stood on the building's "terrace." The name "Knight" was familiar among the locals; if you arranged to meet someone at "Knight," you knew where they were. Unfortunately, there's no trace of it left. From the caponier's "terrace," you can see the ruins of a granary and the confluence of the Narew and Vistula Rivers. For several years, a mural referencing the Napoleonic era has been displayed on the citadel's walls (to the right of the stairs).

The Cadet Gate from the first half of the 19th century guarded the entrance to the citadel from the north-west. The Modlin Fortress was built in stages over nearly 80 years. The first orders to fortify the area were issued by Napoleon in 1806.
