Fort Moulainville, Military fortification in Moulainville, France.
Located at 362 meters altitude, Fort Moulainville overlooks the Woëvre plain with double caponiers at the front and single ones at salient positions.
The fort, constructed between 1883 and 1885, underwent major reinforcement works from 1889 to 1905 due to the torpedo shell crisis.
The structure represents French military engineering of the late 19th century as part of the Séré de Rivières defense system around Verdun.
The fort remains military property and stays closed to visitors, with specific measures implemented to protect a colony of Greater Horseshoe bats.
During World War I, the fort endured 330 shells of 420mm caliber while its artillery fired 11,800 75mm shells and 5,800 155mm projectiles.
