Fort d'Andoy, Military fortification in Wierde, Belgium

Fort d'Andoy features a triangular layout surrounded by a defensive ditch measuring 6 meters in depth and 8 meters in width.

The fort, constructed between 1888 and 1892 under General Henri Alexis Brialmont, represents an early implementation of unreinforced concrete in military architecture.

The structure stands as a testament to Belgian military engineering, marking a departure from traditional masonry construction methods used in neighboring French fortifications.

Located 6 kilometers southeast of Namur's center, the fort remains on private property and currently does not permit public access.

The fort's original ventilation systems and kitchen facilities were positioned in vulnerable locations, leading to significant operational challenges during wartime.
