Information

Fort de Loncin
On August 15, 1914, under fire from the "Grosse Bertha", a powder magazine at Fort Loncin exploded, crushing a majority of its defenders under the rubble. Today listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, it is the only fort to have retained its weapons from 1914. Established as a national necropolis, it is undoubtedly the Brialmont fort, the most authentic.

The visit to the Necropolis, a true sentinel of memory, begins with the Museum dedicated to the Battle of Liège and continues with a moving tour of the fort using a scenography which places the visitor in the shoes of a soldier and allows him to relive the last moments of the fort. By visiting it, we realize the horror of war and how lucky we are to live in a country at peace.
