Fort van Haasdonk, Military fortification in Haasdonk, Belgium
Fort van Haasdonk features a trapezoidal structure with a 50-meter wide moat and covers 22 hectares of protected land near Antwerp.
Built between 1908 and 1913 as part of the National Redoubt of Belgium, this second-order fort remained unused during both World Wars.
The fort represents Belgian military engineering practices from the early 20th century, with concrete walls designed to withstand 21-centimeter artillery shells.
Visitors can access the walking path around the moat, while cyclists can discover the fort through the Forts and Castles cycling route.
The fortress now functions as a winter sanctuary for 250 bats, including water bats, whiskered bats, and Brandt's bats.
