    The old fort is hidden in the dunes. You must call the number indicated to be able to visit the interior. The informative panels are interesting and informative about the historic and tragic role of those who held the position against the advancing Nazi armies during the successful repatriation of British troops trapped in Operation Dynamo of the 1940s.

      This fort from the end of the 19th century still bears the traces of the fighting of 1940 and the German occupation. The Dutch audio tour gives you a good idea of the site, which is located in the middle of a well-preserved nature reserve. In the building you can learn more about the Battle of Dunkirk and Operation Dynamo.
