Fort Kronprinz, Military fortification in Niederhausbergen, France
The fort stands on a hilltop north of Strasbourg, featuring thick concrete walls, underground passages, and multiple defensive structures spread across its grounds.
Built between 1875 and 1888 as part of a ring of 14 fortifications around Strasbourg, following the city's capture by German forces in 1870.
The Orthodox Chapel Saint-Sava inside the fort contains wall paintings created by Yugoslav prisoners during World War II, depicting medieval Serbian monasteries.
The fort now houses a primatology research unit of the University of Strasbourg, where scientists conduct studies on primate behavior and development.
An explosion in the ammunition storage area in 1953 caused structural damage and led to the deaths of six workers, prompting a memorial installation.
