Fortress Dobrošov (Czech Pevnost Dobrošov) was, as a fortification structure, part of the Czechoslovak border fortifications in Dobrošov (Dobroschau) near Náchod, which was to protect against a feared attack by the Wehrmacht after the National Socialists' seizure of power. The unfinished fortress has been a national cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 1995.
