Ouvrage Kerfent is a lesser work (''petit ouvrage'') of the Maginot Line. Located in the Fortified Sector of Faulquemont, the ouvrage consists of three infantry blocks and an observation block, and is located between ''petits ouvrages'' Mottemberg and Bambesch, facing Germany. During the Battle of France, Kerfent was attacked by German forces, who captured the position from the rear after a short assault with artillery support. The combat blocks were heavily damaged. During the Cold War, limited repairs were made to allow the underground facilities to be occupied. Between 1958 and 1961 the site was used by the Royal Canadian Air Force as a microwave communications relay station. In the 1970s the ''ouvrage'' was sold to the commune of Zimming. The ''ouvrage'' is now flooded. == Design and construction == The site was surveyed by the Commission d'Organisation des Régions Fortifiées (CORF), the Maginot Line's design and construction agency, and was approved for construction in October 1931. It was completed at a cost of 16 million francs by the contractor Borie of Paris.〔Mary, Tome 1, p. 52〕 The ''petit ouvrage'' was planned for construction in two phases. The second phase was to upgrade the ''petit ouvrage'' to a ''gros ouvrage'' with artillery blocks.〔Mary, Tome 3, p. 112〕
