Fort de Flémalle

Fort de Flémalle features a quadrilateral structure surrounded by an eight-meter-wide ditch, with multiple artillery positions integrated into its central defensive area.

Built in 1888 under Henri Alexis Brialmont's direction, the fort withstood German attacks until August 16, 1914, when it became the last fortress of Liège to surrender.

The fort contains collections of military equipment, documents, and Belgian uniforms that demonstrate the evolution of defensive structures throughout both World Wars.

Guided tours departing at 10 AM and 2 PM on every third Sunday of the month allow visitors to explore the fort's underground passages and artillery positions.

Virtual reality stations within the fort enable visitors to observe specific locations as they appeared during World War II through digital reconstructions.
