Located on the road to Philippeville, Fort Condé dates from 1720.
Originally built around a rock which was originally topped by a watchtower: the Maugis tower.
After Givet was attached to France in 1678, the tower was demolished and Vauban had the central redoubt cut in the rock built.
From 1725 to 1732, this redoubt was included in a much larger work, Fort Condé, which will be little modified thereafter.
The role of Fort Condé was the forward defense of Charlemont on the east side.
It forms a pentagon whose perimeter measures about 400 meters.
Two walking trails around the fort are freely accessible: the advanced defenses trail (1.2 km) and the terminals trail (2.7 km).
