ABSTRACT

Wisłoujście Fortress is a historical defensive object located on the southwest coast of the Gulf of Gdańsk. Fort Carre, Eastern Sconce and Ravelin are parts of this postmediaeval fortification.
In view of planned regeneration of this fortification complex, at the initiative of the Gdańsk History Museum and Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the University of Gdańsk it was decided to perform a documentation of one Fortress object. Authors decided to report the three-dimensional documentation to perform a series of detailed analyzes of this historic building. Photogrammetric methods was selected as the most effective and less time consuming in preparing documentation.
In the article, authors present the possibility of using close range photogrammetry to create historic buildings documentation. The study based on one room in Fortress. The limitations of this method were pointed out. The capable accuracy in this type of studies was presented. Fragments of made documentation was also shown.
