Ouvrage Galgenberg, Military fortification and museum in Cattenom, France
The Galgenberg fortification contains eight blocks spread across the Cattenom Forest, featuring combat structures and two entrance points at its eastern edge.
Built between 1931 and 1934 as part of the Maginot Line defense system, this fortification remained intact during the battles of June 1940.
The fortification demonstrates French military engineering from the 1930s through its network of galleries, ammunition stores, barracks, and power generation systems.
The site offers guided tours in English and German, with free entry for children under 14 and standard adult admission at 5 euros.
Located 30 meters underground, the fortification maintains original electrical generators and ventilation systems from its operational military period.
