A partially-buried bunker in the Somme department 鈥� the site of fierce fighting during World War One 鈥� is for sale for 鈧�45,000.
The sale of the 80m虏 historic brick and concrete building is the first sale of its kind, said estate agency Denniel Immobilier.
Fighting took place multiple times near the site, which is close to Montdidier 鈥� and particularly during the final year of the war.
The estate agents say the bunker could appeal to someone 鈥減assionate about history鈥�.
Storied past of bunker
The bunker found itself close to the frontline soon after the start of World War One after the French retreated into their own land during the autumn of 1914.
However after the entrenchment of forces, the front remained largely stable for the next four years, with troops regularly stationed by the bunker as it was close to the frontline of fighting.
German forces took the bunker in June 1918, as part of the fierce 鈥楴oyon-Montdidier鈥� offensive campaign which overran this section of the Allied frontline.
However, Allied forces took it back during the 鈥楬undred Days鈥� offensive of 1918, holding it until the end of the war.
