The Fortress Liège-Fort de Flémalle was once part of the defensive ring around the Belgian city of Liège. As one of the larger forts in this complex, it represents the military architecture of the late 19th century and the events of both World Wars.

These forts, located approximately seven kilometers from the city center, were built using the then-novel material concrete and equipped with weaponry.
