Fort Douamont

Highlight • Historical Site

The fort was built between 1884 and 1886. After being modernized between 1901 and 1913, it became one of the emblematic sites of the Battle of Verdun in 1916: captured by German troops in February, it was retaken by the French in October of the same year. It has been a listed historical monument since 1970.

Chaussée Gate

Highlight • Monument

The gate was part of the great city fortifications that surrounded Verdun in the Middle Ages. The gate was donated by Monsieur Wautrec, since Verdun, as a free imperial city, had to take care of its own defense.
