Fort de Roppe, Military fortress in Belfort, France

Fort de Roppe stands on a strategic hilltop position north of Belfort, featuring underground galleries, artillery positions, and reinforced defensive structures.

The fortress, constructed between 1875 and 1877, formed part of the Séré de Rivières defense system protecting France's eastern border after the Franco-Prussian War.

The fort represents French military engineering expertise of the 19th century, demonstrating the period's advanced construction methods and defensive strategies.

Located at coordinates 47.680154, 6.899629, the fortress remains under French Army ownership and current regulations prohibit public access to the site.

The fortress maintained a garrison of 650 soldiers and housed fifty artillery pieces, including specialized 155mm guns mounted in rotating turrets.
