Ouvrage Bersillies, Military fortification in Bersillies, France.
The fortification consists of two combat blocks joined by an underground gallery containing service areas and barracks for military personnel.
Built between 1934 and 1938 as part of the Maginot Line, Ouvrage Bersillies emerged from an earlier fortification constructed during the Séré de Rivières system.
The interior walls contain numerous preserved murals painted by the garrison members during their station at the fortification in the late 1930s.
The structure stands at coordinates 50.32708 latitude and 4.00644 longitude, currently owned by a hunting society and closed to public access.
The fortification housed 100 military personnel and surrendered on May 23, 1940, after German troops positioned themselves directly above the structure.
