Fort d'Emines, Military fortification in Saint-Marc, Belgium
Fort d'Emines stands as one of nine defensive structures surrounding Namur, constructed with unreinforced concrete between 1888 and 1891.
The German artillery bombarded the fort with heavy howitzers in August 1914, leading to its capture on August 24 during World War I.
The fort contains an exhibition of twenty-one panels documenting Belgian Army uniforms, artillery evolution, and fortification development through the decades.
Visitors need to make reservations through weezevent.com/fortemines and can reach the fort at Rue du Fort d'Emines in Saint-Marc.
The fort remains unmodified since World War I, serving as a munitions storage facility between the world wars without receiving military upgrades.
