Fort Lachaux, Military fortress in Grand-Charmont, France
Fort Lachaux stands on Mont Lachaux at 410 meters elevation, featuring thick walls, gun emplacements, and a drawbridge-protected entrance point.
Built between 1876 and 1878 by Adrien Hallier, the fortress initially belonged to the Lomont defensive system before integration into the Belfort fortified position.
The fortress maintains its military heritage through the National Police shooting range while offering educational activities through an on-site teaching farm.
Four discovery circuits surround the fort, providing visitors with different exploration routes complemented by parking facilities and picnic areas.
The fort contained an optical telegraph system that enabled communication with neighboring fortresses, enhancing military coordination during active periods.
