Fort de Chaudfontaine, Military fort in Chaudfontaine, Belgium.
The fort maintains an irregular rectangular structure surrounded by a continuous ditch measuring 6 meters in depth and 8 meters in width.
During World War I, the fort endured German artillery attacks until August 13, 1914, when a shell explosion rendered the structure uninhabitable.
The fort includes a memorial cemetery dedicated to 71 soldiers who died during the 1914 bombardments, preserving their memory for future generations.
Located 7 kilometers southeast of Liège, the fort now functions as an adventure park offering recreational activities for visitors throughout the year.
The fort combines late 19th-century military architecture with modern concrete construction techniques, marking a transition in fortification design methods.
