Fort Klop, Military fortress in Utrecht, Netherlands
Fort aan de Klop features a rectangular earthwork structure with a round brick watchhouse, surrounded by a moat with a drawbridge entrance point.
Built between 1850 and 1852, the fort served as a defensive position along the New Dutch Waterline to protect the inundation canal at Klopvaart.
The fort holds military heritage status as a Rijksmonument complex and forms an integral part of the UNESCO-listed New Dutch Waterline defense system.
The artillery sheds now function as group accommodations, while the fort offers meeting spaces and a brasserie with outdoor terrace service.
Located on a green island within Utrecht, the fort maintains its original 1850s structure while serving modern functions as an event and accommodation venue.
