Strasbourg Fortress
The Citadel of Strasbourg (la Citadelle de Strasbourg) was built on plans by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban from 1682 to 1685 after the occupation of the city of Strasbourg by French troops in 1681. It lay to the east of the old town of Strasbourg. From the citadel of the basin Dusuzeau in the Parc de la Citadelle casemated wall pieces are north obtained, which formed part of the southeast side of the pentagon.
