Ruined abbey and Observation bunker. Montfaucon d'Argonne This is the ruined church atop the hill with an observation post known as the Tour de Kron Prinz. Taken by the Germans in 1914 and thereafter the ancient monastic site became a heavily fortified position based around Hill 336 with numerous OP posts being built. Finally taken by the Americans in Sept 1918 the original village was totally destroyed and never re-built. erman OP
