Czech Republic
From the 17th century onwards, the Moravian city of Olomouc was designated the Olomouc Fortress, its defensive works having been extended at that time to fortify the Austrian-Prussian border. They were successively enlarged until the second half of the 19th century, until technical advances in artillery made them obsolete and they were largely removed while still under Habsburg rule.
