Fort Sint-Michiel, Military fort in Blerick, Netherlands
Fort Sint-Michiel stands on the western bank of the Meuse River, featuring strategic military architecture from the 17th century with defensive walls and structures.
The Spanish forces initiated the construction of Fort Sint-Michiel on September 29, 1641, during the Eighty Years' War to strengthen their control over Venlo.
The site includes a visitor center that presents exhibitions about military history and conducts educational programs for schools and community groups throughout the year.
The fort grounds at Garnizoenweg 3 in Venlo contain archaeological remains that were discovered during excavations conducted in 2010.
The Frederik Hendrikkazerne military complex, built between 1910 and 1913, incorporated multiple facilities including barracks, a hospital, and training grounds on the fort site.
