A piece of history that was part of the fortress Antwerp. A walk around the fort is possible. The fort is now a bat hotel. You can get to know the infrastructure a few times a year.

Although the Fort of Oelegem was not yet finished at the outbreak of the First World War, this did not prevent the fort from participating in it. Now there is only peace and quiet on the domain, the fort has become a bat sanctuary. About 1,300 bats have found their home in the fort.

The fort has been protected as a monument since 1995. The domain is privately owned and managed by the Fort Oelegem working group. The fort is fully used as a bat sanctuary and is only accessible with a guide on certain days and by appointment
