    In 1698 Vauban planned to build a mighty fortress at Bellecroix. At the beginning of the 18th century, Louis de Cormontaigne, the king's engineer, was commissioned to build two fortified double crowns, one of them at Bellecroix. He took over the project from Vauban and made some changes that corresponded to the evolution of military technology.
    In the middle of Bellecroix's double crown were three fortified gates with a footbridge and drawbridge. Only one, through which the road to Saarlouis led, survives today.
