Casematte

Description

Le casematte fanno parte delle fortificazioni della città. Si tratta di sale sotterranee a prova di bomba che venivano utilizzate dai soldati per immagazzinare munizioni, cibo o come rifugio per i soldati e l'artiglieria. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, gli abitanti cercarono anche di proteggersi durante i bombardamenti. Le Casematte facevano parte del bastione della Lys. In origine, c'erano 30 casematte, oggi ne sono rimaste solo 11. Risalgono all'epoca olandese, quando Menin era una città di sbarramento al confine meridionale del Regno dei Paesi Bassi. Furono costruite su una fila inferiore di casematte che probabilmente furono progettate dal costruttore di fortificazioni francese Vauban alla fine del XVII secolo.
