The Fort at Aalsmeer, also known as Fort Rijsenhout, dates from the years 1890-1895. The tank buildings built 10 years later meant the completion of the fort in 1905. It was part of the Amsterdam defense line. During the mobilization in the First World War, the fort was manned by approximately 280 troops. Since 2009, the CRASH Museum of Airborne Warfare and Resistance '40-'45 has been located in the fort, which is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
