The Schoenenbourg Fort is the most heavily bombed structure on the Maginot Line. It is a complete and authentic work, fully equipped with all its original elements. It is fully listed as a "Monument Historiques".
From 14th of May 1940, the fort came under fire from the German artillery, which used a giant 420 mm howitzer that fired 56 shells weighing more than a tonne on the structure. From 20th of June onwards, the German air force bombed the fort seven times, dropping 160 tonnes of bombs on the combat blocks and entrances. The fort took more than 3000 bombs and projectiles of all calibres.

À visiter absolument
Super visite relative à un moment cependant peu glorieux de notre histoire. Très impressionnant et interessant. Quelle prouesse technique de construction. Dommage que le petit train qui relie la partie caserne aux tourelles ne fonctionne pas systématiquement. Je recommande vivement !
