    This powder magazine was built starting in 1842, at the same time as the Langres Citadel. Buried beneath an embankment, it features a 7-meter-high storage chamber containing the barrels of black powder, as well as a surrounding ventilation gallery. Between the two are vents and lighting niches (torches were placed here, separated from the chamber by a glass pane to prevent the powder from igniting).
    Unfortunately, the building is only open to visitors very occasionally (during Heritage Days, for example).
