Fort Lucotte de Saint-Antoine, 19th century military fortification in Saint-Antoine, France.
The Fort Lucotte stands on a ridge between Lake Saint-Point and Métabief ski resort, featuring deep moats and defense structures at its angles.
Built from 1879 to 1882 as part of the Séré de Rivières defense system, the fort was designed to protect the route from Lausanne and house 420 soldiers.
The fort received its name in 1887 through a decree by Minister of War Georges Boulanger, honoring General Edme Aimé Lucotte.
The facility now operates as a cheese aging facility, with 5000 square meters of cellars maintaining specific temperature and humidity conditions.
The former military structure currently stores 100,000 wheels of Comté cheese in its underground chambers, continuing a practice started in 1965.
