Fort d'Hauteville, Military fort in Hauteville-lès-Dijon, France.

The Fort d'Hauteville features thick walls and deep ditches forming a polygonal defensive structure with integrated casemates and artillery positions.

Construction of the fort, part of the Séré de Rivières system, took place from 1877 to 1880 to strengthen French defenses after the Franco-Prussian War.

During World War II, the fort served as a prison where German inmates converted a casemate into a chapel, adding mural decorations.

The site, registered as a historical monument since 2006, participates in Heritage Days events for public visits near Dijon.

The precise coordinates of 47.3671026 latitude and 4.9799344 longitude position the fort strategically above the city of Dijon.
