Flèche
  • Constructed between 1755 and 1756 as the first part of the Lower Outworks
  • for firing arrows out over the open area in front of the castle and to the sides.
  • flèche -[gt] french: fieldwork

The far advanced arrowhead fieldwork was constructed in 1755/56 as the first part of the Lower Outworks. In case of war, cannons could be placed on the construction for flat shelling the fortress flanks. In 1816, a block house was added as a gunpowder store for the immediate supply of the cannons. Additionally, there is a cannon-proof walkway leading through the wall.
