The Crestawald Fortress, located in Sufers, Rheinwald in the canton of Graubünden, is a former artillery work of the Sufers barrier site. This historical site offers a glimpse into the military history of the region and the strategic importance it held during the war times.
Today, the Crestawald Fortress serves as a military history museum. Visitors can explore the original bunker facilities and view the artillery guns that were used during World War II. This provides a unique opportunity to learn about the military strategies and technologies of the past.
The Crestawald Fortress played a crucial role in securing the accesses from the Italian-Swiss border on the Splügen Pass and the San Bernardino Pass from the direction of the Swiss canton of Ticino. It also protected the Viamala from potential attacks from the south and southwest. This strategic positioning underscores the fortress's importance in the region's defense during the war times.
