Fort Monostor

Fort Monostor (Template:Langx) (also referred to as Fort Sandberg) is a fort situated close to the city of Komárom, Hungary. It was built between 1850 and 1871 like part of the fortification system of Komárom.[1] After World War II the Soviets built the biggest ammunition storage in the Fortress of Monostor. Thousands of wagons of ammunition were forwarded from the strictly guarded objects.[2] One of a series of forts in the area, Monostor is open to the public as a museum.[3] It also hosts Europe Gate, a sculpture made of light-transmitting concrete.[4]

Film and TV

Fort Monostor was used as a filming location in the HBO's Strike Back (S03E09) and the second season of Netflix's Shadow And Bone.[5]
