Artilleriewerk Halsegg, Military fortress in Schwyz, Switzerland.
The Artilleriewerk Halsegg consists of two identical monoblock bunkers positioned at 1340 meters above sea level on Alp Halsegg near Sattel.
Built between 1986 and 1988, this fortress served as a prototype for the BISON concept and protected the Seedamm region of Rapperswil against potential northern attacks.
The second bunker now houses the Dufour Museum, displaying exhibits about Guillaume-Henri Dufour's contributions to Swiss military, engineering, and cartographic developments.
The fortress opens for guided tours on the first weekend of each month, allowing visitors to explore the original military equipment and ammunition storage facilities.
The first bunker maintains its original state with two 10.5 cm cannons on pivot mounts and can accommodate 24 people for overnight stays.
