The French term "casemate" describes massive vaults within fortifications. Casemates were usually hidden inside ramparts and consisted of masonry walls or earthen mounds. They were intended to protect against artillery attacks and, in turn, allowed the installation of heavy guns. Such casemates with guns are also found in the high rampart wall of Hohenneuffen.
