Fort du Loch, Military fort in Guidel, France
The Fort du Loch features an irregular pentagonal structure with rounded corners, surrounded by a wide moat and protective curtain walls.
Construction of Fort du Loch began in 1756 as part of the defensive network protecting the port of Lorient from potential English invasions.
The fort received official recognition as a historic monument on June 1, 1960, preserving its military architectural heritage for future generations.
Two internal buildings within the fort complex formerly served as accommodation quarters for troops and storage facilities for military munitions.
Five semi-circular caponnières with crenels line the fort's walls, enabling soldiers to defend the ditches from multiple strategic positions.
