Fort Boven-Lent, Military fortification in Lent, Netherlands.
The fortification consists of a central building with casemates, a defensive tower, and a moat surrounded by elevated earthen walls.
Constructed in 1862, the fort protected Nijmegen and its railway bridge during both World War I and the early stages of World War II.
The fort represents Dutch military engineering from the 19th century and demonstrates the importance of water defense systems in Netherlands.
Fort Boven-Lent now functions as an event venue with multiple spaces for weddings, business meetings, and private celebrations around its courtyard.
The structure stored ammunition and materials after World War II in preparation for a potential Soviet invasion until its decommissioning in 1959.
