Fort Catinat du Larmont supérieur, Military fortification in Pontarlier, France.
The fort stands at 1,170 meters altitude on the Larmont mountain, providing defensive positions over the Swiss border and surrounding valleys.
Constructed between 1880 and 1883 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, the fort formed a defensive network with Fort Larmont inférieur and Fort de Joux.
The fort bears the name of Marshal Nicolas de Catinat, a French military commander, engraved on its entrance despite a brief period under different designation.
The structure maintains its original 19th-century military architecture features, with three sides surrounded by a defensive ditch in the mountain setting.
During World War II, 130 soldiers defended this fort against German forces in June 1940, maintaining their right to keep weapons upon surrender.
