Beautiful view over the polder and the Holenrecht river!

Cozy village center that never bores, so you can plan multiple walking and cycling routes every time.

The fort at Abcoude is the first fort of the Amsterdam Defense Line to be built. It is located on the Amsterdam-Utrecht railway line, an important access point between the flooded areas. Built in 1885, it was intended to serve as a prototype for the other forts of the Defense Line and was abandoned as a military defense in 1959. The fort was armed with four 10 cm cannons, two 6 cm cannons, and eight machine guns. It also had seven powder and missile magazines, as well as a main building with a powder magazine, water cellar, and sleeping quarters. The outer walls are an impressive 1.8 meters thick. The design was an improved version of the bastion system of the New Holland Waterline. The fort consisted of an earthwork containing seven bombproof rooms surrounded by a ditch. The bulletproof rooms included a two-story main building that could accommodate 360 men, a kitchen, and an infirmary. Behind these rooms, on the ground floor, were the ammunition depots with a bright corridor. To the left and right of the main building, lower sections, also covered with earth, were arranged diagonally to the straight front façade. The left is a potagerie leading to the east side of the fort, the right leads to the west. In both cases, there are bridges in front of these access routes to the main building. There were also four bulletproof storage rooms for artillery and other equipment, the so-called depots. The fort also includes the remote fortress guardhouse, which has since been sold to a private individual. Natuurmonumenten has managed the fort since 2006. Many animals, such as the kingfisher, grass snake, and bats, live in the enclosed nature reserve, which breeds here. The fort is open for visits on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The fort remains closed during storm warnings. Guided tours are also offered.
