During the Eighty Years' War, the original village of Stevensweert was expanded into a fortified town by the Spanish in 1633. An earthen wall with seven bastions and five ravelins was built. Part of Stevensweert is under town protection. The fortifications can still be seen in the city's unique street pattern. Be sure to take a look at the Stevensweert-Ohé en laak regional museum.
In 2007, the reconstruction of a small part of the fortifications began based on historical maps of a bastion, a rave line and the associated north side of Stevensweert.
