Bedmar Line from 1701 - 1702 was raised during the War of the Spanish Succession. A historic location where the kids can now freely romp.

Fort Bedmar was built in 1701 by order of the Marquis of the same name, at a strategic location at the intersection of Clingedijk and Koningsdijk. The quadrangular fort was one of the most important fortifications of the Bedmar Line. It is striking that these new forts were much larger than their predecessors, because the range of the guns had increased considerably. Today, a campsite is located on the site of the fort. However, if you look closely, you will see many remnants. For example, the slight slope of the campsite is nothing more than the glacis, the raised firing zone in front of the fort. The layout of the campsite suggests the shape of the former fort. A large part of the inner moat has been preserved behind the laurel hedge. On the access roads to the campsite, cobblestones mark the fort moats and a section in Corten steel shows the structure and height of Fort Bedmar.
