Fort van Brasschaat, Military fortification in Brasschaat, Belgium.
Fort van Brasschaat features a moat system with defensive gun emplacements and retractable platforms integrated into its structural design.
Built between 1909 and 1912, the fort formed part of the National Redoubt of Belgium's defensive network around Antwerp against potential invasions.
The fort contains preserved military architectural elements, including reverse caponiers and specialized ammunition storage areas from the early 20th century.
Access to the fort requires advance arrangements through guided tours, and visitors should wear sturdy footwear for safety considerations.
The structure now serves as a winter sanctuary for over 550 bats, making it one of the three largest bat hibernation sites in Flanders.
