Dutch Fortress Museum, Military museum in Naarden, Netherlands.
The Dutch Fortress Museum occupies four casemates within bastion Turfpoort, featuring thick earth layers that maintain stable interior temperatures throughout the year.
The fortifications surrounding the museum were built between 1575 and 1585 under King Philip II of Spain's orders as part of the defensive system.
The museum presents exhibitions about garrison life, fortification techniques, and the Dutch Water Line through collections of 19th-century firearms and military artifacts.
Visitors can access the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with boat tours operating along the eastern moat from April to October.
The museum maintains an 1810 cannon that fires during monthly demonstrations on the third Sunday, allowing visitors to experience historical artillery operations.
