Fort Uitermeer, Military fort in Weesp, Netherlands
Fort Uitermeer stands on the eastern bank of the Vecht River with a circular tower structure measuring 30 meters in diameter and two distinct levels.
Originally built as a redoubt in 1589, the fort transformed into a fortified structure in 1673 to control flooding systems between Vecht River and Naarden fortress.
The fort belongs to both the Defence Line of Amsterdam and the New Dutch Waterline, two extensive military heritage systems recognized by UNESCO.
Visitors can reach the fort through multiple cycling paths, walking routes, or boat trips from Weesp, with nine mooring spots available at the small harbor.
The fort contains twelve preserved military chambers within its tower structure and maintains a dedicated canoe wharf for water-based activities.
