Located in Ban-de-Sapt, La Fontenelle National Cemetery holds the remains of soldiers who died for France during the battles for La Fontenelle from 1914 to 1918. Established from 1921 to 1923, the cemetery also contains the bodies of soldiers from cemeteries in La Vercoste, Martignon, Huguenet, Floquet, La Croix de Gemainfaing, Hermanpaire, Denipaire and Celles-sur-Plaine. Covering 117,635 sqm, this cemetery holds the remains of nearly 1,400 soldiers, including over 400 in the ossuary. Following a public subscription launched in Vosges, a monument made of local pink sandstone and designed by the sculptor Emile-Just Bachelet, was erected on 15 August 1925 in memory of the soldiers of the Vosges.
References:Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
