Tir national, Military training complex in Schaerbeek, Belgium
The twenty-hectare firing range contained multiple shooting lanes designed for long-distance training, accommodating both indoor and outdoor practice sessions until 1963.
The facility, operational from 1889, served as an execution site during World Wars I and II for resistance members and civilians under German control.
The National Shooting Range reflects Belgium's military development through its architecture, training methods, and transformation into a modern media center.
The former shooting range grounds now house Belgian broadcasters RTBF and VRT, with memorials marking historical sections accessible to visitors.
A cemetery named Enclos des fusillés contains 365 graves of execution victims, including a memorial pillar with concentration camp remains from 1940-1945.
