Fort bezuiden Spaarndam, Military fort in Spaarndam-West, Netherlands
Fort bezuiden Spaarndam lies southwest of Spaarndam-West along the Noorder Buiten Spaarne river, featuring concrete structures and a protective moat system.
The fort, constructed between 1882 and 1903, formed an essential component of the Defence Line of Amsterdam, accommodating 177 military personnel during wartime operations.
After its military decommissioning in the 1980s, the fort transformed into a community space housing a canoe club, restaurant, and daycare facility.
The restored fort maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with guided tours available to explore the concrete bomb-proof buildings and artillery positions.
The fort walls display numerous military murals created by Louis Kortenhorst, who served at this location during the First World War.
