Bunker BM 3 Housse

Bunker BM 3 is part of sector Barchon-Meuse of the 2nd line of defense for the city of Liège (la Position Fortifiée de Liège, PFL 2), and belongs to fort Barchon.

This sector consisted out of 8 bunkers.

Bunker BM 3 today is located at a backyard on a privat plot.

When the bunkers became out of use, they (and the plot) were sold. Later houses were build on the plots. Because the walls of the bunkers are made of 1.30 meter thick concrete, which is difficult and expensive to demollisch, they mostly remained on the plots.

Only in case of major infrastructure changes (f.a.roads, bridges), the bunkers would be demolished.

(It is difficult to photograph te bunkers because it is on a private plot. After approval of the owner to acces his premises, new photo's will be uplaoded.)
