Air Ventilation Shaft Fort Boncelles

Dispite the fort of Boncelles is not open for public and the surrounding area was sold to built houses, the ventilationshaft still remains. The shaft is located at a meadow behind the fort.

In wordwar twe heavy fighting damaged the fortress. The fortress still exists but is not open for public.

As with al the fortresses the ventilationshaft would be out of strategic reasons at some distance of the fort itself. Nowadays the shaft is very well visable, but in the years it was built it would be very well camouflaged with trees.

On of the last remaining visible parts of the fort of Boncelles. Built in 1888.
