Interesting outer fort. You can only look at them from the outside. There is no access.

The West battery is located on the west bank at the mouth of the Vecht in Muiden. In 1427 a reinforcement was already made at this location, which was further expanded over time. In particular, the construction of the sea lock and the introduction of inundation as an important tool in the defense of the Netherlands contributed greatly to strengthening Muiden. The current tower fort was built in 1852, but it soon became militarily outdated after completion.
