Nieuwpoort, Fortified town in South Holland, Netherlands.
Nieuwpoort features six defensive bastions and earthen ramparts that encircle the entire settlement, creating a distinct military architectural layout.
The town received its official rights in 1283 when Lord Van Liesveld and Lord Van Langerack donated land for establishing the settlement.
The town hall stands above a central canal, representing the Dutch architectural practice of integrating water management systems into municipal structures.
The fortification system incorporates water management features that protected residents from floods in 1809 and 1820 through strategic canal placement.
The false bray defense structure extends around the perimeter, making this settlement different from other Dutch fortified towns.
