    Construction on Fort Liezele started in 1908, but the fort was not finished when the First World War broke out in 1914. At the beginning of October 1914, the army withdrew behind the Yser, leaving Fort Liezele completely isolated. On October 10, the fortress surrendered.

    The fort served as a food depot for the German army, a British prison camp and a storage place for recovered German ammunition. It is in very good condition and some parts have been restored or authentically refurbished. For example, the overhead crane and kitchen have been restored and the observation clock has been replaced.
