In the years 1657-58, there was a combination of a single defense system of the fortress fortifications and the city's defense system. After World War I, the Fortress lost its military significance. In the interwar period, it served as a base for sailing clubs. In 1945 it was almost completely destroyed. Since 1974, the Wisłoujście Fortress has been managed by the Historical Museum of the City of Gdańsk. From this moment, rescue and archaeological, historical and conservation works are carried out.
