Fort van Lier built in the period from 1877 - 1890 to strengthen the National Reduit Antwerp. Fort came under heavy fire in the period of September 29 and October 2, 1914. On October 4, the fortress lost its strategic importance.
The fortress is not open to the general public. A shooting club has taken up residence in the fort. Only a tour around the wet canal is possible.
