Fort de Battice

Fort de Battice features concrete fortifications with artillery turrets, underground tunnels, and military equipment spread across a three-kilometer pathway.

The fortress, constructed between 1934 and 1937 as part of the Fortified Position of Liège, played a defensive role during the German invasion of 1940.

The military museum presents extensive collections of weapons, including a 60mm anti-tank gun and dual Maxim 08/15 machine guns mounted on display.

Visitors should wear warm clothes and sturdy walking shoes for the three-and-a-half-hour guided tour through both surface installations and underground passages.

The site maintains operational 175-horsepower generators from the original period, which demonstrate the fortress's power supply system during guided tours.
