Fort Sanderbout, Military bastion in Sittard, Netherlands.
Fort Sanderbout is a bastion at the easternmost point of the historic fortified town of Sittard with an underground tunnel system. The system contains two casemates that offer views in different directions.
The fort was built around 1500 to protect the Putpoort gate and the eastern side of Sittard. It remained in use until the city's destruction in 1677.
The fort's grounds served as a Jewish burial site from 1700 to 1900, representing an important chapter in the local Jewish community's history. This past use shapes how the place is understood today.
The fort can be explored through guided walks that are offered at regular intervals. Exhibitions on site provide information about defense systems and local history.
Next to the fort sits a vineyard where local wine is grown from pinot noir and pinot gris grapes. The vineyard is tended and managed by volunteer groups.
