Fortification Site

The first fortifications of Rocroi were constructed by Henri II in the 16th century.

The French King had a pentagonal, bastionned wall built around the town. The decision to fortify Rocroi was made when the Emperor Charles V began the construction of Fort Charlemont at Givet. In 1675, when Vauban visited Rocroi, he realigned the defences and added several outworks.
