Fort Risban dates from the end of the 16th century and was built on the site of an English tower: the Tour de Lancastre (Tower of Lancaster). The tower served to defend the harbor entrance. After an explosion in 1800, which caused serious damage to the building, major work was carried out in the first half of the 19th century. The fort was then restored and expanded. In 1921 it was declassified and purchased by the city in 1938. Fort Risban is on the list of protected buildings. Restoration work was started a few years ago.

No visits possible. You can only walk around.

An old fortress from the 13th century.

A nice park, but other than that there is not much to see.
