Fort Everdingen, Military fortress near Lek River, Netherlands
Fort Everdingen features robust defensive walls, multiple casemates, and protective structures positioned strategically along the waterline defense system of Vianen.
The fort, constructed between 1842 and 1847, operated with Fort Honswijk to secure access to the Lek River as part of the New Dutch Water Line.
The fortress stands as a monument of Dutch military engineering, demonstrating the nation's water management expertise in defensive infrastructure.
Visitors can explore the 12-hectare grounds, participate in guided tours, taste craft beers at the German & Lauret brewery, or camp in designated areas.
The fort incorporates an advanced water filtering system that captures and reuses rainwater while providing winter shelter for numerous bat species.
