      Fort Napoleon is a military fortification in the Belgian seaside resort of Ostend. The facility is now a modern museum with indoor and outdoor dining and meeting rooms. The fort was built between 1811 and 1814 by order of the French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte and was intended to serve as a base for an invasion of Great Britain. During World War I and World War II it was used by the German occupying forces. After years of decay, it was transferred to the Flemish Industrial Monuments Foundation (Stichting Erfgoed) in 1995 and extensively restored. In 2000 the fort was opened as a museum.
