Fort of Bregille, Military fortification in Besançon, France.
The Fort of Bregille stands at 446 meters altitude on top of Bregille Hill, providing military coverage of the old city of Besançon.
The fort was constructed between 1820 and 1832 to replace an outdated military structure that enemies captured in 1814 during the Napoleonic Wars.
The fortification represents French military engineering, joining other defensive structures that form a protective ring around the historical center of Besançon.
While the interior remains closed to visitors as it serves as an animal shelter and police facility, the surrounding area offers walking paths.
During World War II, the fort housed an anti-aircraft battery, marking its last active military use before transitioning to civilian purposes.
