    After the capture of Belfort, Sébastien Le Prestre, Seigneur de Vauban, undertook work to fortify the city.

    The city walls were equipped with two gates during construction:
    - Porte de France (destroyed in 1892)
    - Porte de Brisach (completed in 1687 and still preserved in its original condition).

    The Porte de Brisach is surrounded by an 18th century city wall. It testifies to the splendor of King Louis XIV and that is why the motto "Nec pluribus impar" is engraved on the gable above the gate.

    Today the imposing gate is the entrance to the old town.
