In year 1902 the viewpoint tower (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Turm) was built in the middle of the hillfort, but it was destroyed in 1945 by German troops defending Festung Breslau.
The earthwork is perfectly preserved, espacially in northern and western part of the hillfort. The banks form shape close to the rectangle. Szwedzki Szaniec is well signposted - to reach it you need to follow Osobowica Street from Różanka, you will see the parkplace and huge earthwork on your left.
