🛡️ **Ouvrage du Hackenberg** – The Largest Fortification of the Maginot Line** The **Ouvrage du Hackenberg** near **Veckring** is the most impressive and largest fortification of the **Maginot Line** – a real must-see for history buffs. Built between 1929 and 1935, it includes: 🔩 **17 combat and entry blocks**, 🚇 over **10 km of underground tunnels**, 🚂 an **internal electric railway**, ⚙️ barracks, ammunition depots, a hospital, and a power supply. During World War II, the fort was combat-ready, but was evacuated without a fight after the armistice in 1940. The French Army later reused the facility during the Cold War. 🎟️ Today, Hackenberg has been beautifully restored and can be visited on guided tours – including a ride on the original narrow-gauge railway. Tip: Be sure to take a guided tour – it lasts about two hours. The underground coolness is pleasant even in summer! It's ideal for a half-day excursion with a historical twist.

🧱 **Tour aux Puces** – Thionville's Oldest Building** The **Tour aux Puces** ("Powder Tower") is a medieval fortified tower dating back to the 11th century – and the oldest surviving building in the city. Originally part of a castle complex, it has served over time as a defense tower, a prison, and now houses a **City Museum** with an archaeological collection. 🏺 Inside, you'll find exhibits from Roman, medieval, and early modern periods – from ceramics to weapons to religious objects. The tower probably got its name from a mistranslation from German to French (“Powder Tower” became “Powder Tower”). **Tip:** The tower is cool and quiet – perfect on hot days. From the top, you have a small but excellent view over the old town. Combine it with the Belfry and the Église Saint-Maximin for a historical tour.

This emblematic 14-sided tower stands on a 2.5 to 3 m high circular foundation, in which many authors have suggested the remains of a Carolingian chapel. The tower is said to have actually been the keep of a castle built by the Counts of Luxembourg in the 16th century, corresponding to the size of the present castle courtyard. It served successively as a residence and last refuge in the event of an attack, as an armory, a prison, and finally, in 1905, as a museum.
