Fort de Dave, Military fortress in Namur Province, Belgium
The triangular fortress overlooks the Meuse River with a deep ditch measuring 6 meters in depth and 8 meters in width around its perimeter.
Between 1888 and 1892, General Henri Alexis Brialmont directed the construction of Fort de Dave as part of nine fortifications protecting Namur.
The fortress represents the transition from traditional masonry to concrete construction in late 19th-century military architecture across Western Europe.
The fort remains closed to visitors due to safety concerns, as its abandoned state and structural deterioration make exploration dangerous without supervision.
The fort contained multiple gun turrets including a twin 15cm, single 21cm, two twin 12cm turrets, and several 57mm positions for local defense.
