Fort aan de Ossenmarkt has been restored some time ago. The lifting mechanism of the former bridge is still present at the entrance. The former enjoyment area houses a music school and various associations and business premises. The wooden artillery shed from 1877 is used as an exhibition space.
During our skating trip 'Stelling van Amsterdam' (170 km) we pass this Stelling

This Fort was built to properly defend both Vechtbanks. The Fort dates from 1861. The Fort has been restored, but at the entrance you can see the lifting mechanism of the former bridge.
