Fort Liefkenshoek, Military fort in Kallo, Belgium
Fort Liefkenshoek stands on the left bank of the Scheldt River, featuring defensive walls, moats, and structures from different construction periods since 1580.
The fort changed hands multiple times between Spanish, Dutch, French, and Austrian forces while controlling maritime traffic on the Scheldt River between 1584 and 1839.
The museum exhibits detail the long-term relationship between local inhabitants and water management, including fishing practices and land reclamation techniques.
Visitors can access the fort from April through October, Wednesday to Sunday, with guided tours available on Sundays from May to September.
The fort grounds contain World War bunkers and serve as a protected habitat for bats under the Natura 2000 conservation program.
