Fort du Larmont inférieur, Military fort in La Cluse-et-Mijoux, France
The Fort du Larmont inférieur stands at 1,032 meters altitude with multiple levels carved into rock and two single-story barracks for defensive purposes.
Built between 1845 and 1851, the fort protected the Fort de Joux and reinforced defenses of the Pontarlier pass during the Franco-Prussian War.
The structure received monument historique classification in 2014, preserving its military architecture and underground chambers for future generations.
Visitors can access the fort using GPS coordinates 46.8761, 6.3778, with special openings during Heritage Days events throughout the year.
An explosion in 1877 destroyed most buildings, leading to a complete reconstruction that integrated new defensive technologies between 1882 and 1884.
