The fortifications at this site have undergone many changes. In the Middle Ages, there was a castle on this site, Chastel Belin, which was apparently destroyed in the 17th century. From 1674, Vauban had the Château Belin built with further fortifications, which were, however, razed to the ground by the Austrians at the beginning of the 19th century and rebuilt in 1828.
In 1871, during the Franco-Prussian War, the city capitulated to a numerically superior enemy, but the Belin and Saint-André forts did not surrender and held the strategically important position.
