Guided tour of the Longwy Region
Guided tour of Vauban's Fortifications

Among the 160 fortress cities built or re-built by Vauban, Longwy has a very special place It is one of the nine new cities that the King's Engineer built "ex nihilo" and that best reflects his vision of an ideal city.

The fortress was equipped with all the amenities of a wartime stronghold: a large arsenal, nine barracks, five wells, 32 housing blocks and a large church. Several buildings survived the shelling of the four sieges suffered by Longwy since it was built.

During the guided tour, you will discover why these monuments contributed to the inclusion of Longwy in the Network of Major Vauban Sites, which became part of the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008.
