St. Jadwiga was one of the 10 Old Dutch bastions, modern elements of fortifications, which began to be built in 1643. The currently preserved two-story stone and brick casemates were rebuilt in the years 1771-1774. During the siege in 1807, there were, among others, the laboratory where the ammunition was prepared. In 1870, about 500 French prisoners of war were held in the bastion casemates. In front of the main entrance to the bastion, there are two plaques commemorating the stay in Nysa of the famous French prisoners of war Charles de Gaulle and Marquis de Lafayette. Today in the Bastion of St. Jadwiga, there is a Tourist Information Point and a memorial room presenting exhibits and exhibitions on the history of the city and the fortress.
