Saint Peter Fort, Military fortress in Sint Pieter, Netherlands.
The hexagonal fort contains multiple levels connected by passageways, featuring thick stone walls and strategic gunnery windows positioned for defense.
Following the French attack on Maastricht in 1673, the fort was constructed in the early 1700s to strengthen the city's defensive capabilities.
The fortress represents Dutch military architecture through its design choices, incorporating local limestone and traditional fortification techniques of the period.
Guided tours lasting one hour start at Luikerweg 71 near Chalet Bergrust, with schedules varying according to different seasons.
The fort connects to an extensive network of underground marl caves that served as evacuation routes and storage spaces during military conflicts.
