Casematas

Description

Las casamatas forman parte de las fortificaciones de la ciudad. Son salas abovedadas a prueba de bombas que eran utilizadas por los soldados para almacenar municiones, guardar alimentos o como refugio para los soldados y la artillería. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los habitantes también buscaron protegerse durante los bombardeos. Las Casamatas formaban parte del bastión del Lys. Originalmente, había 30 casamatas, pero hoy solo quedan 11. Se remontan a la época holandesa cuando Menin era una ciudad barrera en la frontera sur del Reino de los Países Bajos. Fueron construidas sobre una fila inferior de casamatas que probablemente fueron diseñadas por el constructor de fortalezas francés Vauban a finales del siglo XVII.
