History Fort
The fort near Vijfhuizen is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam, a 19th-century line of defense around the capital. The Defense Line consists of a ring of forts, batteries, numerous dikes, locks and inundation polders. With the threat of an enemy army, dikes would be breached and a gigantic ring of water was created. The Defense Line is a pinnacle of defensive and hydraulic engineering and was declared World Heritage by Unesco in 1996.
