It was left alone for decades

The history of the Fort Boyard sea fort dates back several centuries, when it was intended for the French army. In the XVII-XIV centuries. They could have begun its construction during the reign of Lagos, the Sun King, but they faced minor obstacles. It is said that the famous military engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban told the king at that time that it would be easier to bite the moon than to build such a castle on the sea. Later, in the 19th century, during the reign of Napoleon, they began to raise it to protect that part of the French coast as much as possible. With the short-range cannons of the time, they did not go further than the islands of Aix and Oléron, so they needed a naval base.

In the end, the plan failed repeatedly because the stones lowered into the sea frequently sank during low tide, so in 1809 the construction of the fortification was again suspended. We had to wait more than 30 years for the continuation, which was ordered by King Louis Fulop in 1837. Its construction was completed only twenty years later, in 1857, when the guns had a longer range, so Fort Boyard became almost redundant. It served as a prison for a while, but the building began to fall apart due to lack of use. The fortification of historical value, doomed to decay, was built before Boyar castle It was saved from complete destruction by a television program, which was restored for filming in 1988, and since then different countries have started exchanging door handles.
