The Belgian fortress of Aubin-Neufchâteau was built between April 1935 and the beginning of 1940 as the easternmost structure of the Liège fortress ring. Triangular in plan, this complex was less heavily armed than the neighboring forts.
The domes were scrapped. On the roof of the fort there is a fairly dense thorn bush. The severe external damage to Block 1, the main entrance of the fort, did not result from fighting. During the war, the Germans occupied the fort and tested the so-called "Röchling grenade" on the conquered fort. These grenades were supposed to penetrate the reinforced concrete masses of forts. They were fired from a howitzer eight kilometers away at the forts of Aubin-Neufchâteau and Battice.
The fort can be visited every third Sunday of the month between April and November at 2 p.m. The tour lasts around two hours.
There is also a plaque commemorating the defenders.
