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

The Saint-Apollinaire redoubt stands at an altitude of 286 meters, featuring six casemates and a defensive structure with thick stone walls.

Built between 1876 and 1878 following the 1870-1871 war, this fortification formed part of General Séré de Rivières' defense network protecting Dijon.

The redoubt received recognition as a historical monument in March 2006, preserving military architectural heritage from the late 19th century.

The fort contains a 25-meter deep water well, kitchen facilities, and ammunition storage rooms that supported a garrison of 150 soldiers.

The central structure maintains foundations for optical communication equipment and four anti-aircraft defense tanks added in the 20th century.
