France besieged the city in 1647 and 1670, and Longwy was incorporated to France by the treaty of Nijmegen in 1678.
Being a border city, Longwy was occupied by Prussia in 1792, 1815 and 1870, and Germany in 1870 and 1914-1918.

 Fortified Places > Fortresses > Longwy
Longwy, which stands on a high mountain plateau overlooking a valley about 40km south-east of Luxembourg, was an excellent candidate for fortification.
Longwy is nominated to become a UNESCO world heritage site, so the fortifications are being restored and the accessibility of the ditches seems to have been improved recently.
Although large parts of the fortifications are lost and the remaining parts aren’t the most spectacular ones, the fact that Longwy was a new town, built from scratch in the 17th century, which can still be seen very clearly makes it well worth a visit.
