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.

This beautifully restored fort is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. Today it serves as a music school and various associations and business premises are located there.

Around Weesp is a ring of fortifications and forts, built to protect Amsterdam in times of war. This also includes the tower fortress on the Ossenmarkt, built in 1861. This fortress is still in good condition and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ‘If you come to Weesp by bike, a visit to Fort Hinderdam is definitely worth it. Beautifully situated on the Vecht and very impressive.”
