FORT 4 in Mortsel was built in the middle of the 19th century and was part of the Brialmont fortress belt. Together with seven other fortresses, it had to defend Antwerp in times of war. The army remained the owner of the fort until the year 2000, the year in which the city of Mortsel became the owner of FORT 4, a beautiful domain of 24 hectares. It was and is the ambition of the city of Mortsel to open up this closed bastion and to allow as many people as possible to enjoy this exceptional site: an oasis of greenery combined with historic buildings and contemporary infrastructure. In the fortress you can play, play sports, meet, rest, relax, discover, ... There are picnic fields and toys and events take place.

As a city, we are only at the beginning of the development of this domain, but gradually, step by step, FORT 4 is being returned to the Mortselaars and everyone who likes to stay there. This is an invitation to come and discover FORT 4: the old fortress, the new fortress, the green fortress, … It is worth it and you are very welcome.
