Ouvrage Hobling, Military fortification in Chémery-les-Deux, France

The Ouvrage Hobling consists of four combat blocks connected by underground galleries, including barracks and utility areas at depths of 30 meters.

Constructed in 1931 as part of the Maginot Line defensive system, this fortification cost 14 million francs and became operational by 1935.

The fortification represents French military engineering of the interwar period, with its specialized design incorporating machine gun turrets and observation posts.

The structure contained quarters for 115 soldiers and four officers, equipped with two Renault diesel generators for power supply.

Two of the four blocks retain their original configuration, while others lost their metal components through post-war salvage operations.
