The fort of Chaudfontaine is one of the twelve forts built for the defense of Liège, in Belgium, at the end of the 19th century on the initiative of the Belgian general Henri Alexis Brialmont. Built from 1888 to 1892, as a modern concrete infrastructure, equipped with the most modern weapons of the time, the fort of Chaudfontaine is one of the six small forts of the Liège belt. Dominating the Vesdre valley on the right bank at an altitude of 220 m, it is located, with that of Embourg, south of the fort of Fléron and east of that of Boncelles. During the First World War, after two days of resistance, the fort surrendered on August 13, 1914, following the explosion of a German shell in the vault of the ammunition store. The street leading to the fort was renamed "rue du XIII Août" and a military cemetery was established there, as well as a monument in homage to 50 of the 71 victims buried in the necropolis and who perished in the fire of the fort (explosion). In 1933, the fort was renovated, rearmed, and consolidated. A thick layer of reinforced concrete, intended to withstand the heaviest equipment, reinforced the vaults. During the Second World War, during the Battle of France, the fort resisted for a few days, but, shelled by the Luftwaffe from the morning of May 17, 1940, it was abandoned at the end of the day after the explosion of a German grenade inside, then a shell at the entrance. A shooting club called "La Trairie" has been located there since 1983 in the casemates defending the moats. Since the 1990s, the fort of Chaudfontaine, renamed "Fort Adventure", has been occupied and developed by a company that organizes adventure courses there, for adults as well as for children.
