Ancienne poudrière de la forteresse du Mont-Valérien, Historic military gunpowder magazine at Mont-Valérien Fortress, Suresnes, France.
This semi-underground military gunpowder magazine was designed for the secure storage of ammunition and gunpowder as part of the Mont-Valérien fortress defensive system during the 19th century.
Built between 1841 and 1846 as part of the Paris fortifications under Adolphe Thiers, this magazine served ammunition storage during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871.
The site forms part of French military heritage and demonstrates 19th-century ammunition storage techniques, contributing to the collective memory of Paris defense strategies and military architecture.
The gunpowder magazine is accessible to the public only once a year during Heritage Days, with guided tours available by appointment through direct contact with the site administration.
This magazine represents one of the last remaining architectural witnesses of ammunition storage facilities from the 19th-century Paris fortifications still preserved on French territory.
