Fort de La Prée
Fort de La Prée, built in 1625, is located near the eastern end of the Île de Ré, in France.
History
In 1625, the French officer Toiras led the Royalist troops when they captured Ré from the Huguenots under the command of admiral Duke of Soubise. After his victory, Toiras received the title of count, and became Governor of Île de Ré. He had the engineers Le Camus and Pierre de Conti d’Argencourt build Fort de La Prée to protect an anchorage on the island's eastern side. He also worked on the larger fortifications at Saint-Martin-de-Ré. They used materials salvaged from the remains of the Romanesque abbey of the Châteliers'.
