Fort Frouard, Military fortress in Champigneulles, France.
The hexagonal fortification stands at 350 meters altitude on the Haie plateau, featuring stone masonry walls reinforced with concrete and defensive ditches on all sides.
Built between 1879 and 1883 following the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, the fort formed part of the Séré de Rivières defense system along the Franco-German border.
The fort represents French military engineering of the late 19th century through its design, which includes artillery turrets, observation posts, and armored shelters.
The Association for the Preservation of Fortified Heritage in Frouard manages visits to the fort since 2007, allowing access to various military architectural features.
The structure maintains its original Mougin turret, three machine gun turrets, and a 75mm R05 turret, making it the last French fort with specific projection systems.
