Artilleriewerk Isleten, Military fortress in Isleten, Switzerland
The Artilleriewerk Isleten consists of two batteries carved into rock formations along Lake Lucerne, featuring four 10.5 cm defensive cannons.
Constructed between 1942 and 1943, this fortification formed an essential part of Switzerland's defense system during World War II and the Cold War period.
The fortress represents Swiss military engineering excellence through its network of underground tunnels, infrastructure systems, and strategic positioning above Lake Lucerne.
The facility includes a 65-meter cable railway system for access, which was operational from 1942 and continues to serve for material transport.
Since 2010, this former military installation has been transformed into a data center while maintaining its original structural characteristics.
