Bastion de la Hollande, Military bastion in Saint-Malo, France
The Bastion de la Hollande features a 2200-square-meter grassy esplanade on the ramparts, offering views of Dinard across the water.
Built in 1674 during the war with Holland, this defensive structure became part of Saint-Malo's fortifications and received cannons from the Count of Toulouse in 1696.
A statue of Jacques Cartier stands on the bastion since 1905, commemorating the famous explorer who departed from Saint-Malo to discover Canada.
The bastion provides access to the ramparts walk and includes period cannon reproductions that demonstrate the military engineering of the 17th century.
The structure once housed guard dogs in underground kennels, which patrolled outside the city walls each night until 1772.
