The **Ouvrage du Bois-Karré** is a small fortification of the Maginot Line west of Hettange-Grande, near the three-district border of France, Luxembourg, and Germany. It was built between 1931 and 1935 and served to secure a strategic valley access to the Moselle.
🔰 A so-called "petit ouvrage," Bois-Karré consisted of two combat blocks (infantry, machine gun), connected by a short underground passage. Despite its small size, it was heavily armed and cleverly camouflaged in the 1930s to blend into the landscape.
