En un regard
Le château en bref
Fuchsegg (artillery work A 8630) is a mountain fort from the Second World War, attached to the Gotthard Fortress. It stands at 1 990 m above sea level, above Realp in the canton of Uri, directly alongside the Furka Pass road, which reaches 2 436 m, roughly 450 m above the village (1 540 m). Construction began on 1 September 1941. Four armoured turrets fitted with 10.5 cm guns were installed in 1943, on 10 February and 8 July, while two machine-gun bunkers flank the entrance, and a ventilation bunker disguised as a barn and infantry casemates complete the site. The work became operational in autumn 1945 and remained in service throughout the Cold War until it was decommissioned on 1 January 1995. It is not currently open to the public. The fort is one of the artillery works of the Gotthard Fortress, alongside Bühl, Bäzberg and Gütsch.
