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.

Je recommande
Je recommande vivement cette visite qui sera autant pour petits et grands ( nous 8-11-15 ans). Une équipe de passionnés restaure l'histoire impressionnante du fort. On a l'impression qu'ils sont partis (soldats) hier. Merci pour l'accueil et la disponibilité, Bonne visite
A very nice fort worth visiting. Kind volunteers giving explanations (also in English). Written explanations are also bilangual. A "must go to", even if you are not interested in history

Très bonne expérience.
L'activité et le parcours sont bien faits. Merci à Didier qui a pris le temps de nous donner des explications avec passion! Les panneaux d'affichages explicatifs disposés tout au long du parcours permettent de se mettre dans la peau des soldats et de comprendre ce qu'ils ont vécu.
