Fort d'Uxegney, Military museum in Uxegney, France.

The Fort d'Uxegney features extensive underground galleries with restored artillery turrets, operational cannons, and military equipment from the late 19th century.

Built between 1882 and 1884, this fort belonged to a 43-kilometer defensive line of sixteen fortifications designed to prevent German advances into France.

The Association pour la Restauration du Fort d'Uxegney maintains the fort's heritage through preservation work and educational guided tours for visitors.

The fort opens from May to September, with tickets granting access to both Fort d'Uxegney and Fort Bois l'Abbé, including train transportation between sites.

The fort contains a functioning 250-ton Galopin eclipse turret with a 155mm cannon, representing one of the few remaining examples of this military technology.
