Nieuw Fort St. Andries, Military fortress in Maasdriel, Netherlands
The fort stands between the Maas and Waal rivers, featuring solid walls, reinforced structures, and a concrete observation tower added in the mid-20th century.
Built in 1812 as a replacement for the original Fort Sint-Andries from 1599, this structure formed part of the New Dutch Water Line defense system.
The fort maintains its status as a Rijksmonument, representing the Netherlands' military engineering expertise and defensive strategies of the 19th century.
Visitors can climb the renovated lookout tower, which received new steel stairs and flooring during its 2006 restoration by Staatsbosbeheer.
German forces stationed at the fort during World War II demolished the structure in April 1945 when facing attacks from English Royal Marines.
