The Last Cartridge House in Bazeilles near Sedan. The clock stopped at the moment it was struck by a bullet.
Last Cartridge House is one of the most symbolic locations of the Franco-Prussian War. This former inn, now a small museum, is situated on the edge of Bazeilles where about 60 French infantry under Commandant Lambert were surrounded by troops of the 15th Bavarian Regiment. Unwilling to surrender, the French fought to the last remaining cartridge.
