Fort d'Aubin-Neufchâteau

Fort d'Aubin-Neufchâteau spans across a triangular layout with multiple combat blocks, artillery positions, and underground galleries extending throughout the structure.

Built in the 1930s as part of the Fortified Position of Liège, the fort resisted German forces until May 21, 1940, when it surrendered due to depleted ammunition.

The fort preserves military equipment, documents, and artifacts that demonstrate Belgian defense strategies and fortification techniques from the early 20th century.

The museum offers monthly guided tours from May through November, allowing visitors to explore both surface fortifications and underground passages.

The fortress now serves as a protected habitat for bat colonies while maintaining its role as a military museum and memorial site.
