Historical explanation:
The Schans Halve Maan was built in 1870, together with the Defensive Dike. The redoubt is located approximately in the middle. In 1953, the redoubt was badly damaged by the flood and the inside was dug up to fill sandbags. Victims of the flood were allowed to temporarily build shelter on the freed-up land. There are now four private homes on the site.

Explanation: In 1953, the fort was severely damaged by a flood, and the interior was excavated to fill sandbags. Flood victims were given permission to build temporary shelters on the vacant land. Private homes now stand on the site. The ramparts surrounding the fort have almost completely disappeared. Only a remnant remains at the bridgehead.
