Fort Saint-Privat, Military fortification in Marly, France
Fort Saint-Privat features strategic artillery installations and defensive structures designed according to the detached fort concept developed by Hans von Biehler.
Built between 1872 and 1875 during the Second French Empire, the fort served as part of the initial fortified belt protecting the city of Metz.
The fort's name changed from Feste Prinz August von Württemberg to Fort Saint-Privat in 1919 when French forces took control after World War I.
Located at coordinates 49.081944, 6.1425, the military installation remains inaccessible as it is permanently closed to public visitation.
During the Battle of Metz in 1944, Commander Werner Matzdorff surrendered with 500 men after enduring severe ammunition shortages and limited resources.
