Fort Sanderbout, Military bastion in Sittard, Netherlands.
Fort Sanderbout stands at the easternmost point of the historic fortified town, featuring an underground tunnel system with two casemates overlooking different directions.
The bastion, constructed around 1500, protected the Putpoort gate and eastern side of Sittard until the city's destruction in 1677.
The fort grounds served as a Jewish cemetery from 1700 to 1900, marking an important period in the local Jewish community's history.
Visitors can explore the fort during guided walks on the first Saturday of each month, with exhibitions about defense systems and local history.
The adjacent Wijngaard Fort Sanderbout vineyard produces local wine from pinot noir and pinot gris grapes cultivated by volunteer groups.
