Tips

Office du Tourisme de Flémalle

November 6, 2024

The Fort de Flémalle is open every 3rd Sunday of the month. It offers guided tours with the support of a virtual headset to put on in certain places. This gives you the unique opportunity to see how the fort was laid out during the Second World War!

A large quadrangular fort of the Fortified Position of Liège, Flémalle is one of the twelve defenders of the Ardent City imagined by Brialmont in 1888. It surrendered on August 16, 1914, a few minutes before Hollogne. With them, the PFL (Fortified Position of Liège) had definitively fallen.

Rearmed between the two wars, with a relatively deep quadrilateral, it lets visitors discover its wounds that have never really healed, scars of the violence of enemy bombings in 40. The virtual tour allows you to better understand what these damp walls were like... The visit to the fort is now enhanced by that of a completely renovated museum. The collection, unique in its kind, gives pride of place to Belgian equipment from both wars, although quite rare: weapons (from the Hotchkiss machine gun to the DBT mortar), equipment (dentist, operating room, etc.), documents but also a dozen or so uniforms from the First World War, and even more from the Second. A must-see!
