Fort van Liezele

Fort van Liezele spans multiple levels with fortified walls, gun turrets, and underground corridors representing early 20th-century military architecture of Antwerp's defense system.

The fortress, constructed between 1906 and 1914, formed part of Belgium's national defense strategy and played a crucial role during the initial months of World War I.

The museum presents personal narratives of soldiers, construction workers, and local residents through interactive exhibits, virtual reality experiences, and authentic artifacts from the period.

Visitors can explore the fort from Wednesday through Monday between 10:00 and 17:00, with guided tours available and an audio guide system in multiple languages.

The museum features restored military quarters transformed into guest rooms where visitors can spend the night surrounded by period furnishings and modern amenities.
