Fort de Brimont

The fortress stands on a hill north of Reims, featuring a central building complex with two levels connected by protected corridors to the courtyard.

Built between 1875 and 1877, the fort required five hundred workers and formed part of the defensive belt system protecting Reims after 1870.

The fort's stone facades were constructed using millstone, a material commonly found in traditional buildings throughout the Paris region.

The municipal property requires advance permission from local authorities for visits, and access to certain areas remains limited due to structural conditions.

The structure contains numerous stone engravings near the left magazine and capital, preserving marks from different periods of its military occupation.
