Zwartendijksterschans, Military fortification in Norg, Netherlands.
The fortification features four bastions and a surrounding moat, positioned strategically along the historic road connecting Friesland to Drenthe through wetlands.
Built in 1593 under Willem Lodewijk van Nassau-Dillenburg's direction, this fort served to block Spanish forces from advancing between Groningen and Friesland.
The fortification demonstrates Dutch military engineering principles from the 16th century, reflecting regional defensive strategies during the Eighty Years' War.
Located along Schansweg, the site maintains open access for visitors who can explore the preserved earthen walls and examine educational markers.
The structure represents one of the remaining forts from the Eighty Years' War period, with restorations in 1988 returning it to its 1673 configuration.
