Fort of Rosemont, Military fortification on Rosemont hill, Besancon, France.
The Fort of Rosemont consists of two structures including a small fort and a magazine containing six rooms positioned on a hilltop location.
The fortification was built during the Franco-Prussian War between 1870 and 1871 to support the defense positions of Planoise and Chaudanne.
The surrounding hillsides feature traditional stone shelters called cabordes, formerly used by local winegrowers for tool storage and weather protection.
Access to the fort remains restricted due to preservation concerns, though visitors can explore nearby hiking trails around the Rosemont hill.
The structure stands as the smallest fort in Besancon, featuring a simple design with a rock-carved moat instead of traditional masonry walls.
