Across the water to the fort
The journey from Muiden makes distance and location tangible. During the crossing, look at the view of the waterways and ask why this particular position was militarily important.
Casemates and defence
Inside, corridors, gun rooms and construction show how the fort functioned. Pay attention to ventilation, supplies and field of fire, not just to the thick walls.
The island today
The pavilion and energy projects give the site a contemporary use. Distinguish between the historic fort, nature management and new sustainable installations.
