Emmerschans, Nature reserve and historic fortification in Emmen, Netherlands.
The Emmerschans encompasses a rectangular redoubt measuring 45 by 60 meters, encircled by a defensive moat near the Emmerdijk.
The construction of Emmerschans occurred around 1800, replacing a smaller fortification from the 16th century that protected the eastern Dutch border.
The monument represents Dutch military architecture and defense strategies, holding national recognition through its Rijksmonument designation under number 14961.
The former defense structure at Rondweg 98 in Emmen now functions as both a protected monument and a natural area for visitors.
During restoration work in 1961, workers uncovered ground traces of the original 16th-century fortification beneath the current structure.
