betekenis & definitie

(Grevelingen approx.) Is a moated fortress of the Defense Line of Amsterdam, constructed to defend two accesses (Drecht and Kromme Mijdrecht). The earthworks raised in 1885 received in 1911 an elongated and kinked bomb-free main building and a separate armored casemate. There is a wooden genie shed at the fort.
