Fort bij Kudelstaart, Military fort in Kudelstaart, Netherlands
Fort bij Kudelstaart stands near Westeinderplassen lake, featuring concrete artillery positions and wooden benches integrated into its front wall structure.
Built between 1905 and 1906, the fort served as a defense point to protect access through Kudelstaart Road and the navigable Westeinderplassen water routes.
The fort represents a key element of the Defence Line of Amsterdam, which extends 135 kilometers and incorporates multiple fortifications, dams, and locks.
The structure now functions as a marina with 120 permanent berths, providing essential facilities such as sanitation, showers, and electrical connections.
The front wall contains double artillery emplacements with concrete waiting rooms for personnel, a feature uncommon in other Defense Line fortifications.
