Fort Claudia, Reutte, Defensive fortification in Reutte, Austria.
The fortress extends across a flat terrace on the hillside east of the federal road, featuring limestone walls and strategic vantage points.
Construction of Fort Claudia began in 1639 under architect Elias Gumpp as part of the defensive system protecting Ehrenberg Castle from external threats.
The fort bears the name of Claudia von Medici, widow of Archduke Leopold V, representing the military architectural heritage of 17th-century Tyrol.
Visitors can access the fort without entrance fees and combine their visit with the nearby highline179 suspension bridge connecting to Ehrenberg ruins.
The preservation efforts initiated in 2000 included forest clearing to restore the original military sightlines between Fort Claudia and surrounding fortifications.
