It is an interval casemate, probably in northern Alsace near Wissembourg.

Hi all,

According to photocaption Panzerwerk 505, La Ferte

[MLW]

No, that is not PO La Ferte (PW 505). It is FCR Blockhouse Passe-d-Anor near the town of Anor in the Ardennes sector

Thank you for your correction, MLW.

Having lived near Haguenau / Hatten the French designs are unique, different from the Czech designs. From the embrasures to the observation and combat bells / domes. There is also much external detailing on the French Fortifications that is different or missing on the Czech bunkers.

Two identifying characteristics visible in the photo of the Czech casemate you posted are: 1) the shape of the armored cupolas, and 2) the series of metal rods installed along the top of the casemate for attaching camouflage netting. The features are different from those of Maginot Line fortifications.

Image you posted from eBay is, I believe, Eben Emael.
