At this location you have a beautiful view of the Hoofdfront and the fortress moat.

What is the Main Front?

The Main Front was protected by the left and right caponier, an island facing the enemy consisting of two bomb-proof flanks and a triangle in which a central corridor was connected to the batteries, stores, etc. The caponier is connected to the main front by a brick bridge.

In the main front, opening onto an open space, accommodation was provided for soldiers and non-commissioned officers. The various rooms are connected by a gallery, and a central corridor leads to the caponier.

On both sides of the main front, at the corners of the trapezium, are the half caponiers, consisting of a corridor and batteries. The most impressive part of the fort is the inner fort, formed by two semicircles with a central courtyard. The ground and first floors housed storage areas and troop rooms.
