Ouvrage Denting, Maginot Line fortification in Moselle, France
The military complex consists of three concrete blocks connected by underground galleries, providing space for barracks and ammunition storage at 30-meter depth.
Construction of the fortification began in May 1931 by contractor Duval-Weyrich of Nancy, with a total cost of 11 million francs.
The fortress walls contain murals painted by soldiers of the 18th Engineering Regiment during their service at the installation.
Block 1 contains machine gun positions, observation posts, and specialized embrasures, while Block 2 features a decontamination chamber.
The structure maintains fake defensive positions alongside real ones, incorporating a strategic design element to mislead potential attackers.
