The KW line was built just before World War II.
It was one of the defence lines that were supposed to protect Belgium from a German invasion. More than 400 bunkers lay along this line from Koningshooikt to Wavre (hence: the KW line). Most of the bunkers have since disappeared, but you can still see quite a few remnants in the landscape. The bunker LW3 is a silent witness to this in the landscape.
