Monastère orthodoxe Sainte-Marie, Military fort on Porquerolles Island, France
The Fort de la Repentance stands at 100 meters above sea level, featuring three batteries with vaulted casemates and underground ammunition storage facilities.
Construction of this coastal defense structure began in 1882 under Captain Marinier's supervision to protect Porquerolles Bay and Port-Cros islands.
The fort underwent transformation from a military installation to an Orthodox monastery, maintained by a Romanian religious community dedicated to spiritual practices.
Located on Chemin du Fort de la Repentance in Hyères, the structure received monument historique protection status on January 20, 1989.
The fortress contains a central courtyard connecting multiple batteries, with a powder storage area accessed through a dedicated lift shaft system.
