Małaszewicze Duże: Fortress History and Regional Discoveries

Małaszewicze Duże has a clear historical focus: the village is home to an intermediate fortification dating from 1914 to 1915. In addition, there is a connection to Małaszewicze Małe, destinations in the wider region and local events featuring baked goods. Road No. 023, the museum and the three regional destinations broaden the local context without replacing the historic site.

The Małaszewicze Duże intermediate fortification – Battery (FDa) is located in the village. The site was built in 1914–1915 from earth and is included in the heritage register. It forms part of the defensive architecture of Małaszewicze Duże. As a single structure, it serves as a local reference point within military history.

The fortress complex of the present-day Terespol municipality

In the present-day Terespol municipality, the fortress complex comprised a total of 31 objects. These included fortresses, intermediate fortifications, batteries, intermediate fortress walls and military roads. The Małaszewicze Duże intermediate fortification is also part of this complex. The complex therefore comprises both individual fortifications and linear military structures.

Road No. 023 between the two localities

Road 023 connects Małaszewicze Małe with Małaszewicze Duże. The 1,372-metre section is paved with cobblestones. The length and road surface refer to the same stretch. For a journey between the two localities, this section can be included as a separate part of the route planning. In addition to the distance, the condition of the road is therefore also relevant to practical planning. When planning the route, both the 1,372 metres and the cobblestone surface count for this section.
