Ouvrage Einseling, Military fort in Laudrefang, France

Built in 1933, Einseling consists of a concrete block structure with armored turrets and machine gun positions on the Finselingerberg hill.

The fort remained undefeated during World War II, as German artillery failed to reach it due to protection from the surrounding hillside.

The Friends of the Fortified Sector of Faulquemont association maintains the fort and preserves its military heritage for future generations.

Visitors can access the fort during heritage days or by special request to explore underground galleries and defense installations.

A spelling error during construction changed the original name from Finseling to Einseling, which remains the official designation today.
