    The pond "Grote Gracht" in Bredevoort in the Vestingpark is located directly on the Kruittorenstraat, a great park with a tea house, Lourdes grotto and "floating concrete path". The Vestingpark in Bredevoort is since 2016 the name for a 19th-century monumental garden that originally belonged to Sint Bernardus in the Dutch province of Gelderland.

    The large moat is a former defensive ditch in the northwest of the town of Bredevoort. Its shape still clearly reveals the course of the former ramparts and the Treurniet and Vreesniet bastions.

    Today, the Vestingpark is a picturesque park with paths, a bridge, old trees, a teahouse, a grotto, and a tree trail. In 1784, the former administrator, Bernard Andreas Roelvink, leased the remains of two bastions (Vreesniet and Treurniet) and the land between them (the present-day fortress park and orchard). Around 1850, he had an English garden laid out there, bordered to the northwest by the large moat.
