This small circular fort was added to the fortifications in the 15th century to ensure more effective defense of the town. Now isolated in the middle of the Planty, the fort was originally linked to the Porte Florian by a corridor known as "le cou". It is one of Europe's best-preserved barbicans, a marvel of medieval military architecture. It is open to the public and sometimes, in summer, serves as the backdrop for medieval shows (sword fights and folk dances, of questionable quality, but entertaining).

Un édifice bien restauré, belle architecture tout en briques, intéressant mais sans plus.

Intéressant avec les enfants
Situé juste en face de la tour d'entrée de la vielle ville, ce petit fort est intéressant à visiter avec les enfants. Tout en arrondi avec des «chemins de rondes» qui surplombent une cour, il a une structure originale. La visite est rapide car il est petit ce qui convient bien aux jeunes enfants.

Au bord du Planty, fortification servant aussi "sas" d'entrée au nord de la vieille ville, passage obligé dans les remparts pour accéder à la porte Florian.
Visite extérieur gratuite, entrée payante pour l'intérieur ouvert seulement en période estivale.

Le monument était fermé lorsque j'y suis allée. A l'entrée de la vieille ville. Monument photogénique.
