Fort de la Redoute de Saint-Apollinaire, Military redoubt in Saint-Apollinaire, France.

Fort de la Redoute de Saint-Apollinaire is a military stronghold built on elevated terrain with thick stone walls and six casemates designed for defense. The structure includes a 25-meter deep well for water, kitchen areas, and ammunition storage that once supported a garrison of 150 soldiers.

Construction of this redoubt ran from 1878 to 1880, part of the Séré de Rivières system of frontier defences built around Dijon after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. It was sited to cover the ground between the Langres and Gray roads, behind the fort de Varois. The masonry is still in good condition although the moats have been filled in, and the redoubt was inscribed as a monument historique on 17 March 2006.

The name comes from the neighbouring commune of Saint-Apollinaire, on whose land the redoubt partly stands. Since the town acquired the site, the former military ground has served as a public park for walks and local events, and the masonry, though the moats were filled in, remains in good condition.

The site is accessible on foot and offers good views of the fortification and surrounding landscape from the elevated location. Visitors should be prepared for uneven pathways and stairs while exploring the interior spaces.

The central massif still holds the foundations of an optical signalling house on its summit. In the 20th century four emplacements for anti-aircraft guns (DCA) were added, a later layer on a work built in 1878-1880. The entrance was deliberately weakened so an enemy seizing the redoubt could not use it as a strongpoint so close to Dijon.
