Welcome to Access-i

Musée du Fort de Loncin

Considered the symbol of the Battle of Liège and of Belgium's heroism in the face of the German attack in 1914, the Fort of Loncin is still today an exceptional place of remembrance because it is preserved in the same state as when it was destroyed during the First World War.

The Museum offers the opportunity to discover rare, curious or surprising objects such as mannequins in uniform, period weapons and personal objects found on the site.

So don't hesitate to come and discover this magnificent place, full of history and emotions.
