Ouvrage d’infanterie de Bois-la-Dame, Military fortification in Moselle, France.
The Bois-la-Dame infantry structure contains concrete bunkers, artillery positions, and underground corridors designed for defensive military operations.
Built between 1913 and 1916 as part of the second fortified belt of Metz, this fortification experienced combat during the Battle of Metz in 1944.
The fortification represents French military engineering expertise and serves as a memorial to the soldiers who defended the region during World War II.
Guided tours of the fortification operate on weekends and specific dates throughout the year, with access points located near the main entrance.
The construction required special techniques to preserve the surrounding forest, incorporating the natural environment into its defensive capabilities.
