(départ funiculaire Kirchberg)

An impressive system of fortifications, which has almost completely disappeared since the Treaty of London in 1867, defended the Kirchberg and protected the fortress city. The first military constructions on the Kirchberg heights date back to the time of Louis XIV. The engineer Vauban, who was in charge of the siege works in 1684, was commissioned to draw up a project for the reinforcement of the fortress. The museum offers two-hour guided tours of these fortifications.

IMPORTANT: Participants should be equipped with appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes and a flashlight.
