Fort Beneden-Lent, Military fortress in Lent, Netherlands.
Fort Beneden-Lent stands on the northern bank of the Waal River, featuring an earthen redoubt measuring 73 by 116 meters with rounded corners.
The fortress was built in 1862 to protect Nijmegen and later served to defend the railway bridge during both World War I and World War II.
The structure represents a key element of Dutch military architecture and defense strategy, now recognized as a national monument under Rijksmonument designation.
The fort is currently closed to visitors due to safety concerns regarding World War II ammunition discovered in its surrounding moat.
Three anti-squat residents appointed by Staatsbosbeheer occupy the fortress, which will soon be surrounded by the new 1500-home Hof van Holland district.
