Ouvrage Bois du Four is a lesser work (petit ouvrage) of the Maginot Line. The ouvrage consists of a single combination block, and was located between petit ouvrage Mauvais Bois and gros ouvrage Bréhain, facing Luxembourg. It is preserved by the community of Villers-la-Montagne and may be visited.
Bois du Four was originally planned with five blocks with
separate entrances for men and munitions. The ouvrage as
built was garrisoned by 137 men.
