Fort de Tancrémont is a historic military fortification located in Belgium, near the village of Tancrémont, which is part of the Liège region. It was built as part of the Fortified Position of Liège (also known as the Liège Fortress), a network of military fortifications constructed by the Belgian Army between 1888 and 1891 to defend the city of Liège and the surrounding area. There is a small museum near the Fort with all kinds of items and personal belongings, letters and gear from soldiers from the fort.
