Fort Saint-Sauveur, Military fort in Saint-Sauveur district, Lille, France
The fortification contains a classical chapel built in 1707 with white stones from Lezennes quarries and features Ionic and Corinthian architectural elements.
Constructed between 1671 and 1674 by military engineer Vauban, the fort served to strengthen defenses in southern Lille and control the Saint-Sauveur neighborhood.
The chapel interior displays preserved altar frames, wooden ceiling structures, and sculptural elements representing religious figures and the Holy Spirit.
The military engineering services continue to occupy the fort, which opens its gates to the public during the annual Heritage Days events.
This reduced fort stands as one of three examples built within a citadel city, covering 8,000 square meters with four original buildings still intact.
