Fort Belrupt, Military fortification in Belrupt-en-Verdunois, France.
Fort Belrupt stands at an elevation of 350 meters in the Meuse department, featuring a pentagonal design with protective wings and a double caponnière.
Built in 1877 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, the fort served as an artillery battery and troop shelter during the Battle of Verdun.
The fort received its name from General Joseph Corda, a military leader born in Belrupt, following a ministerial decree in January 1887.
Located at coordinates 49.147778 latitude and 5.435 longitude, the fort maintains underground passages and barracks across two distinct levels.
The fort's design eliminated traditional powder magazines, instead placing artillery pieces in external positions protected by ten bombproof traverses.
