Fort bij Nigtevecht, Defense fort in De Ronde Venen, Netherlands
The concrete fort stretches 180 meters with multiple wings connected by corridors, featuring barracks, ammunition rooms, and gun positions in the defensive structures.
Built in 1904 under the Ministry of War Engineering Bureau, this military structure formed part of the defensive ring protecting Amsterdam from potential attacks.
The fort maintains its original architectural elements, including restored buildings that previously housed lifting domes, with visible remains of steel rings showing degree markings.
The fort opens every weekend from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering fresh soups, sandwiches, and homemade cakes in its converted barracks cafe.
The fort grounds support a population of cormorants, tufted ducks, and grebes, while reed warblers nest in the surrounding moat vegetation during summer months.
