Fort Vossegat, Military fortress in Utrecht, Netherlands
Fort Vossegat forms part of the New Dutch Waterline defense system, featuring preserved structures including a bombproof guardhouse and the Bridge of Twelve Holes.
Built in 1817 near the Kromme Rijn river on Utrecht's east side, the fort protected vital routes between Utrecht and Bunnik along with a water control system.
The fort's remaining structures are integrated into the modern Kromhout Barracks complex, reflecting the evolution of military architecture through different periods.
Several sections of the original fort now stand within the restricted military area of Kromhout Barracks, limiting public access to these historical structures.
The site combines preserved 19th-century fortification elements with contemporary military facilities across three distinct architectural zones: the Strip, the Field, and the Wedge.
