Batterie de Sermenaz, Military fortification in Neyron, France.
The Batterie de Sermenaz stands on a hill as part of the defensive ring around Lyon, featuring military architecture from the late 19th century.
Built in 1887, this fort belonged to the second belt of Lyon fortifications and contained seven cannons with accommodation for 150 soldiers.
The fort represents French military engineering principles and was selected in 2022 for heritage preservation due to its deteriorating condition.
Local associations can access the site for events, while guided tours are available during Heritage Days to explore the fortification.
The site includes plans for an edible forest project with 1,000 fruit trees, transforming the military surroundings into a community garden.
