Fort de Suarlée, Military fortification in Namur, Belgium
Fort de Suarlée exhibits a triangular layout with protective ditches measuring 6 meters deep and 8 meters wide surrounding its concrete structure.
The fort endured significant bombardment during World War I starting August 23, 1914, when German forces attacked its unreinforced concrete walls with heavy artillery.
This fortification represents Belgium's military engineering advancement of the late 19th century, incorporating German-manufactured weapons and innovative defense systems.
Access to Fort de Suarlée requires special permission as the structure stands on private property and presents safety risks due to structural deterioration.
The fort contains a 900-meter underground tunnel system, now partially submerged by groundwater, that connected to a ventilation tower 600 meters away.
