Mouse Fort, Military fort in Gooise Meren, Netherlands.
The fort contains nine chambers with two gun casemates, each equipped with three firing holes to control the surrounding waterways and bridges.
Built between 1874 and 1877, Mouse Fort formed a key defense point in both the Defense Line of Amsterdam and New Dutch Water Line.
The fort represents Dutch military engineering through its brick construction and strategic placement for protecting vital regional water routes.
Visitors can explore the fort through a modern information center with digital displays, educational panels, and interactive exhibits about regional fortifications.
During World War II, the fort received additional reinforcements including a cast steel dome casemate G19 and a group shelter type P M4.
