The opening times are published online and it's worth investing the €4 for entry. The complex is huge, although not all rooms are accessible. We visited without a guide, but were provided with detailed information material - in German! A very interesting complex that is maintained by a club. Respect!!!

This fort was built between 1875 and 1879. The fort forms the southern end of the defensive curtain of the Haute Moselle region, adjoining the fortified region of Belfort, which extends to the south. The fort was built as part of the French Séré de Rivières system of fortifications to defend France against a recurrence of the Prussian invasion of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. The fort was one of the most heavily armed forts in the northeast during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Entrance 3€/pers. (free for accompanied children under 12). OPENING EVERY SUNDAY and public holidays from July 3 to September 18 (inclusive): from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (entrances close at 5:15 p.m.) Possibility of guided tour from April to October (Reservation required).
