    Built by order of Napoleon I, it began to be built in 1810 and construction took 24 years. It is built on the highest point of the island, just 9 meters above sea level.

    It was initially intended for defense but was also used as a prison and as a holiday camp for soldiers of the French army. The stone used to build the fort came from quarries in the town of Crazannes.
