    Built in the 18th century, Fort du Chay was integrated into the German defense system in 1940. Thoroughly rebuilt by the German occupying troops, who replaced the old facilities with blockhouses, it formed a lock at the mouth of the river mouth with the fortifications of the Pointe de Grave.

    This impressive defense system was almost completely destroyed in the bombing raids of 1945. Only a few log houses remain.
