A find from the front-line landscape

For each piece, read the find spot, material and date. An excavated find without context does not prove which soldier it belonged to.

Adrian helmet and remembrance

The French helmet with a veterans’ plaque links its use to later commemoration. Keep both phases of the object in view.

Visits are currently possible by appointment only. Discuss with the guide how much time and support your group needs. The medieval tower is not wheelchair accessible; it is closed on public holidays.
