Ouvrage Rochonvillers, Military fortification in Rochonvillers, France
The defensive structure consists of nine combat blocks and two entrances connected by underground galleries situated 30 meters beneath the surface.
The French military constructed this Maginot Line fortification between 1929 and 1935, with a final cost of 123 million francs.
The fortress represents the military defense strategy of France during the 1930s, demonstrating the engineering capabilities of that period.
The fortification contained living quarters for 782 soldiers, including kitchens, ammunition storage, power generators, and ventilation systems.
The structure transformed into a nuclear-proof command center during the 1980s, with capacity to house 500 personnel for extended periods.
