Entrance to Fort Tancremont

The Fort Tancremont was the smallest of the forts of the enlarged fortress ring Liege . The complex has the shape of an irregular square and was built at the same time as the Belgian Fort Eben-Emael . During the Second World War , the fortress was no longer bothered because of the successful attack near Eben-Emael and was therefore able to hold out against the German aggressor until May 29, 1940 . The fort is now on the road from Banneux to Verviers and can be visited as a museum .
