Magletsch, Artillery fortress in Oberschan, Switzerland
The Magletsch fortress comprises military tunnels, chambers, and defensive positions carved into the mountain rock of the Rhine valley region.
Built during World War II between 1939 and 1941, the fortress served as a strategic defense point in the northern section of Sargans stronghold.
The fortress museum preserves Swiss military engineering and defense strategies through exhibits of original equipment, infrastructure, and military facilities.
Guided tours lasting 2.5 or 3 hours are available for groups from June to August, with adult tickets priced at 18 or 22 Swiss francs.
Three marine diesel engines remain in the original engine room, powering the fortress systems through an extensive network of underground fuel tanks.
