Circumvallatielinie, Military fortification in Oost Gelre, Netherlands
The Circumvallatielinie extends through the landscape with earthen ramparts and defensive ditches forming a circular barrier around the historic town of Groenlo.
The fortification was constructed during the Siege of Grol in 1627, serving as a crucial defense structure during the Eighty Years' War between the Netherlands and Spain.
The site represents Dutch military engineering excellence, demonstrating advanced defensive strategies through its system of interconnected earthworks and strategic positioning.
Visitors can access the fortification site throughout the year, with informational panels explaining the defense system's layout and historical functions.
The fortification maintains visible sections of its original 17th-century structure, including moats and bastions that encircled the entire town of Groenlo.
