Fort de la Chartreuse, Military fort in Amercœur district, Liège, Belgium
Fort de la Chartreuse stands on elevated ground with extensive masonry construction, featuring military architectural elements from the early nineteenth century period.
The Dutch administration constructed this defensive structure between 1817 and 1823 on the former site of a Carthusian monastery to protect Liège.
The fort includes multiple rooms, corridors, and tunnels that demonstrate the evolution of military engineering and defense strategies in nineteenth-century Belgium.
Visitors can access the fort grounds through marked pathways, with public transportation stops located near the main entrance of the historical complex.
The fort served as a military hospital for American forces in 1944-1945 before the Belgian army departed in 1988, leading to natural reforestation.
