The Feste von Zastrow, renamed Fort des Bordes by the French in 1919, is a military structure located in the district of Boric in Metz.

Buried since the construction of the Eastern expressway in 1968, it is covered by a green space, although some remnants of the fort remain visible.

The first fortified belt of Metz consists of forts de Saint-Privat (1870) of Queuleu (1867), des Bordes (1870) Saint-Julien (1867), Gambetta, Déroulède, Decaen, Plappeville (1867) and St. Quentin (1867), most unfinished or still in the planning stages is in 1870, when the Franco-Prussian War burst out.

On November 9, 1944, no less than 1,299 heavy bombers, both B-17s and B-24s, dump hundreds of bombs on fortifications and strategic points in the combat zone of Third army.
