The Blessebrugschans is a sconce between De Blesse and Wolvega along the Linde in the province of Friesland. The Blessebrugschans was part of the Frisian water line during the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648). Some other sconces are the Kuinderschans and the Zwartendijksterschans. However, the attack by the Spaniards on Friesland did not happen. During the Second Münster War (1672-1674), the sconce was put into use again. The army of Bernhard von Galen, bishop of Münster, attacked the sconce. The attack in September 1672 was repulsed. During the attack on August 5, 1673, the water line was passed. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessebrugschans
