Ouvrage Ferme Chappy, Military fortress of the Maginot Line in Viviers-sur-Chiers, France
The fortification consists of two combat blocks connected by underground galleries, including ammunition storage areas and a power plant with Renault generators.
Constructed between 1932 and 1935, the fortress withstood German attacks in June 1940 with support from neighboring Ouvrage Fermont.
The garrison of 109 soldiers and three officers from the 149th Fortress Infantry Regiment protected this section of French territory.
The structure maintains its concrete shell integrity despite the removal of the machine gun turret during German occupation after World War II.
The fortress derives its name from the farm positioned directly above its underground barracks and entrance facilities.
