Ouvrage Rohrbach, Military fortification and museum in Bettviller, France.
The Ouvrage Rohrbach consists of three infantry blocks, casemates, and shelters positioned on an escarpment overlooking the Sarre valley in northeastern France.
Built between 1929 and 1938 as part of the Maginot Line, this fortification engaged German forces in June 1940 before its garrison of 176 personnel surrendered.
The Association Fort Casso maintains the site since 1989, preserving military artifacts, weapons, uniforms, and documents that demonstrate French defensive strategies.
Visitors can explore the underground tunnels, artillery positions, and machine gun posts through guided tours that explain the military engineering of the period.
The fort contains retractable turrets and specialized equipment designed for both ground and aerial defense, demonstrating advanced military technology of the 1930s.
