This fort was part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. The defense consists of 45 forts, built around 1900 in a ring around the capital. Nowadays a wine shop is located here. Behind the windows and doors are now offices.

Currently used by a wine wholesaler, can only be visited from the outside. Close to a B&B.

Even though other users have created a highlight here, this isn't a highlight at all; it's private property. It's best to avoid it or just take a quick look and move on.
