This battery—a kind of fort—is part of the New Dutch Waterline. A battery is a small, fortified defensive structure that forms part of a waterline. The site of the battery covers a total of five hectares. A barracks dating from around 1880, which served as a shelter during wars, is also located here.

The Battery under Brakel is part of the New Dutch Waterline. A little further on is the Battery under Poederoijen, which was built in the same way.
