Historical Description | The Fort de Knocke is a historic fortress located near Dunkirk (Dunkerque) in northern France. It was built at the end of the 19th century as part of France’s military buildup to protect the strategically important coastal region from possible attacks, especially from the north. It is part of a network of defensive structures designed to secure the harbor and the city. Today, Fort de Knocke is a historic monument that highlights the importance of military fortifications along the French coast and is often used for tours and cultural events. |
