Fort Ebersberg, Military museum and fortress in Berg am Irchel, Switzerland.
Fort Ebersberg contains two semi-automatic 75mm gun blockhouses positioned on a north-facing slope, constructed within sandstone for enhanced protection.
The fortress, built between 1938 and 1940, formed part of Switzerland's Border Line defenses against potential German invasion during World War II.
The Military Historical Foundation of Canton Zurich maintains this defensive structure as a testament to Swiss military engineering and strategic planning.
Surface installations display military exhibits for visitors, while underground sections remain closed, with guided tours available through local historical organizations.
Designated as A5438, this fortress represents the single defensive position of its type within the entire Zurich canton.
