Fort de Guentrange, Military fortification and museum in Thionville, France
Fort de Guentrange stands 200 meters above Thionville, featuring three distinct barracks structures arranged along a north-south axis on a strategic hilltop position.
German engineers constructed this fortification between 1899 and 1906 as part of the Moselstellung defense system, designed to protect against potential French attacks.
The fort maintains the last functioning military oven in the region, constructed in 1904, which has been converted from coal to wood-burning operation.
The Amicale du Groupe Fortifié de Guentrange organization manages guided tours through the fortification complex, allowing visitors to explore military history.
Kaiser Wilhelm II demonstrated particular interest in the fort's construction, conducting four personal inspections during its development phase.
