Fort du Bois d'Oye, Military fortress in Bermont, France.

The Fort du Bois d'Oye features a pentagonal structure made of limestone walls surrounding a large open court at 420 meters elevation.

Built between 1883 and 1886, the fortress formed part of Belfort's second defensive ring, incorporating the Séré de Rivières military engineering system.

The fort reflects late 19th-century French military architecture through its strategic position overseeing the Montbéliard and Delle railway networks.

The fortress originally accommodated 673 military personnel, including 17 officers, and maintained water supplies through an integrated well and cistern system.

Between 1908 and 1913, the fort received concrete reinforcements and advanced weaponry, including three machine gun turrets and specialized 75mm gun installations.
