The Fort at Edam is a fort of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. The fort is located north of the Edammersluis in the Polder Zeevang near Edam. The fort is part of the Unesco World Heritage Defense Line of Amsterdam, which was constructed between about 1880 and 1920 as a defense belt around the capital.
During our skating trip 'Stelling van Amsterdam' (170 km) we pass this Stelling
