Fort de Hollogne is one of the fortifications that once protected the Belgian city of Liège. As part of a defensive ring, it is an example of the military architecture of the late 19th century and the events of both World Wars.

These forts, including Hollogne, were positioned approximately seven kilometers from the city center and built entirely from the then-novel material concrete, equipped with weaponry.
