LE FORT SAINT-SÉBASTIEN
14 rue de Ramstein57230 BITCHE
Looking down on to the town's football pitch, this small less known fort is an annex to the Citadel. Built between 1850 and 1853 on a hill to the north west of the town, it has a very important stategic position. During the seige in 1870-1871, this stronghold stopped the enemy approaching too close. The camp below gave shelter to thousands of men for nine months.
