Fort Moselle, Military fort in Metz, France
Fort Moselle stands on the outskirts of Metz with thick stone walls, defensive structures, and strategic vantage points overlooking the surrounding terrain.
Louis de Cormontaigne designed this military fortification in the early twentieth century as part of the defensive network protecting the city of Metz.
The fort represents French military engineering principles and serves as an educational site for understanding defensive architecture from the 1900s.
Visitors can reach Fort Moselle through public transportation from central Metz, with regular guided tours available during standard opening hours.
The fort contains underground passages and chambers that were used for storing ammunition and supplies during its operational period.
