Engelse Werk, Public park and national heritage site in Zwolle, Netherlands.
Located along the IJssel River, this 16-hectare park features walking paths, wooded islands, and a large central pond near the Katerveerdijk.
The park, established in 1828, was constructed on former fortifications that included bastions and a masonry tunnel from the sixteenth-century defense line.
The landscape design follows the English garden style, likely created by Hendrik van Lunteren, incorporating natural elements with historical defensive structures.
Free parking facilities are available near the restaurant, which serves coffee, lunch, and dinner in a natural setting by the water.
The Vogeleiland section functions as a protected bird sanctuary where kingfishers nest, while the Kieftegat marshland supports diverse plant species.
