Fort des Hautes Perches

Fort des Hautes Perches was built between 1874 and 1877 in Danjoutin and Belfort in northeastern France.

The Forts des Perches were unique among the first group in their re-use of older sites.

They were rebuilt as part of the Séré de Rivières system and incorporated improvements to deal with the improvement in efficacy of artillery in the late 19th century.

[1] The Fort des Hautes Perches is small compared to others in the Belfort defensive array, although it is somewhat larger than the Fort des Basses Perches about one kilometer away to the southwest.

It remains the property of the French Army and is not accessible to the public.
