Fort built from 1830 onwards as an entrenched square fortress protected by a rock.

The Citadel of Belfort is a historically complex building, reflecting five centuries of fortifications. It was built after the conquest of the city in 1687, replacing a medieval castle that previously stood on this rocky outcrop.

The Lion is the symbol of the city of Belfort. All Belfort residents are proud of this pink sandstone colossus. The Citadel and the Lion of Belfort were voted the French people's favorite monument in 2020.

The Church of St. Christopher was designed by the engineer Philippe Mareschal and built from 1727 to replace the Saint-Denis Collegiate Church. It opened for worship in 1750. Its façade, in the classical style with superimposed Doric and Ionic colonnades, is decorated with a triangular pediment bearing the king's coat of arms and religious motifs. This ornamentation was partially altered after the siege of 1870-1871. The towers were built between 1784 and 1788 (north tower) and in 1845 (south tower). The large organ is the work of the postman J.-C. Valtrin and has been restored and modified several times, notably in 1971 by François and Joseph Calinet and Kurt Schwenkedel. It was declared a historic monument by decree of 28 January 1930, erected as a basilica in 1952, and became a cathedral in 1979 following the creation of the Diocese of Belfort-Montbéliard.

The Lion of Belfort is 11 meters high and 22 meters long and is the tallest stone monument in the country. It is best seen from the observation terrace, which is only open during the day. Admission costs €1 (as of 10/2024). The investment is worth it 👍.

This lion overlooking the city is a magnificent work! Unfortunately work closes access until the beginning of December.

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. Opening hours: Visit at 3 p.m. on Sundays from May to September
