The fortresses of this era had a simpler, polygonal shape than the large star fortresses developed by the military engineer Vauban in the 17th century. Due to improvements in artillery, cities had become too vulnerable to long-range cannon attacks. The solution was to build a series of small fortresses in a ring around the city to be defended.

It is one of 8 forts in the fortified belt built around Langres at the end of the 19th century.

Fort Peigney is one of eight detached forts built to protect the town of Langres in northeastern France. It was integrated into the defense system developed by General Séré de Rivières at the end of the 19th century, to protect the country from a German invasion.
