Tunnel Battery

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1881 above the Tunnel de Tavannes to reinforce the inner defensive belt of Verdun. The battery had three firing platforms and a traverse shelter, and was originally armed with two 220 mm mortars and one 22 cm smoothbore mortar. In 1900 it was disarmed and reused during the Battle of Verdun (1916) as an ammunition depot and shelter for troops. The traverse shelter is the best preserved element visible today.

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.
