    At this location you will find yourself at the Artillery entrance of the fort. The stone bridge pillars are silent witnesses of its history. Fort 8 is one of eight Brialmont forts around Antwerp, built between 1860 and 1864 as part of the National Reduit Antwerp. Unfortunately, Fort 8 played no strategic role during World War I, as it was not modernized and reinforced with concrete.



    The inner fort, also called the Reduit, can be visited with a guide, but you must make an appointment for this. I can really recommend it, because the Reduit exudes pure military architecture and takes you back more than 150 years in military history. Book with the Guideswerk Fort 8 and you will be catapulted back in time...
