Built between 1883 and 1885 as part of the “Rideau des Hauts de Meuse”, this fort is the only one of the line located on the left bank of the Meuse. It guarded the Spada passage, a strategic access to Saint-Mihiel. In September 1914, this passage was breached by German troops. The fort is a reminder of the early defensive efforts before the trench warfare and is today hidden in the greenery.
