Tips
Named after General Sénarmont, Fort Bessoncourt was built between 1883 and 1886 to close the roads to Colmar and Basel and the railway to Mulhouse, and to support the forts of Roppe and Vézelois. It is a large pentagonal limestone structure, built for approximately 650 men and 30 artillery pieces. It is typical of forts dating from the 1880s, in which the long-range artillery and close defense were grouped on the rampart bordering the ditch, while the infantry was positioned above the caponiers of the escarpment and on the roof of the central barracks.
