Fort Rapp, Military museum in Reichstett, France.

Fort Rapp encompasses 4.5 hectares with 220 rooms, featuring barracks, blockhouses, powder rooms, and protected passageways across its defensive structure.

The fort, constructed between 1872 and 1874 under German command, formed part of an extensive fortification system protecting Strasbourg from artillery attacks.

The architecture combines Vosges sandstone and bricks from Rust and Achenheim, representing the military construction techniques of the 19th century Franco-German border.

The Fort Rapp Association maintains the site and organizes guided tours through the military complex, allowing visitors to explore its defensive structures.

During World War I, the fort served as an ammunition depot and held Russian and Italian prisoners before becoming a rest center for troops.
