Ouvrage Bois-du-Four, Military fortification and museum in Morfontaine, France.

The Ouvrage Bois-du-Four contains a single combat block with three 47mm anti-tank guns, five machine gun mounts, and a 96-ton rotating turret.

Built in 1932, this Maginot Line fort remained operational until June 1940 when its 137-person crew surrendered following the French-German armistice.

The museum displays four preserved military frescoes from Maginot Line forts, presenting military life through restored artifacts and period equipment.

The fort opens every first Sunday from May to September between 14:00 and 17:00, with admission prices of 5 euros for adults and 2 euros for children.

The structure features the only restored Type B 81mm mortar firing chamber in northeastern France, demonstrating original military engineering specifications.
