Built between 1930 and 1935, this is one of the most imposing furnaces on the Maginot Line at Lembach. 4km of galleries 30m below ground.

Built between 1930 and 1935, this structure, whose name comes from an old lime kiln built nearby, is one of the most imposing of the Maginot Line. The four kilometers of galleries go down to 30 meters under the ground. They could accommodate more than six hundred men. Visitors will gradually become familiar with the living conditions of the soldiers who walked the earth before them by visiting their dormitories, their sanitary facilities, their kitchens and their infirmary.

Wir haben hier eine deutschsprachige Führung mitgemacht und waren sehr dankbar, dass es diese Möglichkeit gibt! Gerard war super! Total nett und herzlich hat er uns viel über die Geschichte und das Leben in der Festung näher gebracht. Die Führung hat ca. zwei Stunden gedauert und besonders interessant war der Teil in den Gefechtstürmen. Man konnte sich schon fast vorstellen, wie anstrengend und laut es dort gewesen sein muss. Aber auch Kaserne und Werkstatt waren super. Wir haben dort viel über das Leben dort unter Tage erfahren und sind dankbar, so einen tollen Tourguide wie Gerard (er ist weit über 80 Jahre alt) gehabt zu haben. Viel Gesundheit und Glück für ihn!

Nous avons adoré cette visite guidée par Didier. Un homme passionné qui nous a transmis un morceau de notre Histoire. Nous recommandons la visite du Four à Chaux. Plus de 2 heures de visite, nos enfants de 6 ans ont aussi beaucoup apprécié la visite. Merci à vous tous d'être investi dans cette belle cause.
