Not much remains of the original buildings in Fort van 's-Gravenwezel. The domain is now the residential recreation area Schildestrand.
History:
The Fort of 's-Gravenwezel was built in 1909-1912. On October 5, 1914, the fortress resisted the German army, but a few days later it took Antwerp. In 1947 the fort was no longer a military domain. Almost all fort buildings have been demolished. Only here and there the remains are still visible.
