Fort 3 is a fortress located in Borsbeek on the Zoomweg and part of the Brialmont belt. Construction began in 1859 and was completed in 1864. It was the first fort of the second southern belt to be built. That is why the design differs from the later forts built.

Nice walk, took me to places I didn't know! Highly recommended if you want to delve into the history of the forts with a touch of nature while the planes fly over you.
