    Fort De Brederode or Dungense Schans was part of the 42 kilometer long Circumvallation Line that was constructed in 1629 to conquer the 'invincible' city of 's-Hertogenbosch from the Spaniards.

    This line ran partly over the Keerdijk at Den Dungen and behind the Poeldonkse dike. The fortress formed a unit with the Quarter of Count Johan Wolfert van Brederode (3000 men). This Encampment was west of this point about halfway down the Keerdijk. Immediately east of this fortification, Van Brederode's Cavalry was stationed.

    Since 1949, a small part of the 'fort' that has been preserved has a Maria chapel built by members of the North Brabant student guild. They did this at the initiative of a number of Dungen residents who wanted to keep alive the idea of the Carthusians and the Tertiary Sisters who had a monastery on the nearby Eijkendonck between 1467 and 1626.
