The **Northern Battery** is the northern section of Fort de Guentrange – sheltered in the forest above Thionville. It was part of the fort's outer defenses and served to secure the north side with guns, dugouts, and observation posts.
🌲 Today, the battery lies quietly in the countryside – many of the concrete structures, ditches, and ventilation shafts are still visible, some overgrown. An exciting place for explorers and history buffs.
