Le château en bref
Gütsch Fortress (Swiss Army designation A8685) was a Swiss artillery post near the municipality of Andermatt in the canton of Uri. It was built in 1942, at the height of the Second World War, at an altitude of 2,300 m beneath the old Stöckli Fort. The fortress can be reached by road behind Nätschen or by the Göschenen cable car.
The Gütsch fortifications and their turret guns played an essential role in the defence of the Andermatt area. Built for the 9th Division as a partial replacement for Stöckli Fort and the obsolete armament of the Bäzberg and Buhl forts, the fortress was decommissioned in 1995; it is now the site of a weather station and a wind farm.
