Fort bij Tienhoven, Military fort of the New Dutch Waterline in Stichtse Vecht, Netherlands.
Fort bij Tienhoven features a square brick guardhouse, remnants of ammunition storage facilities, and fortified walls near the Tienhovense Vaart canal.
The fort, constructed between 1848 and 1850, protected the strategic waterways and inundation systems that formed part of the Dutch defense strategy.
The structure demonstrates the Netherlands' military engineering capabilities through its design, which incorporated water management systems for territorial defense.
While the fort interior remains closed to protect bat colonies, visitors can observe the external fortifications from surrounding walking and cycling paths.
The fort contains a cast-iron dome-shaped casemate installed during the interwar period to house heavy machine guns overlooking the canal and embankment.
