Fort Ronduit, Military fort in Naarden, Netherlands.

Fort Ronduit contains three bombproof structures including a guardhouse, barracks, and remise, connected by a network of defensive canals and earthen walls.

The fort was constructed between 1873 and 1875 as part of the New Dutch Waterline, strengthening the northern defense of Naarden through strategic positioning.

This Rijksmonument complex represents Dutch military engineering of the 19th century, demonstrating the nation's approach to territorial defense through water management.

The fort grounds remain closed to regular visitors as the premises are currently rented out, though the exterior can be viewed from nearby paths.

The fortification uses a system of canals that could flood surrounding areas, creating a water-based barrier that made the region impassable to enemy forces.
