Forgotten History
Fort aan het Schiphol
Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands
Fort at Schiphol was a fort in the Haarlemmermeer that was constructed when the Haarlemmermeer was drained to supplement Krayenhoff's posts in the defense of Amsterdam. Later, the fort within the Defense Line of Amsterdam became the base of the Schiphol military air camp, which grew into Schiphol Airport. After the reclamation of the Haarlemmermeer, additional defenses were necessary. It was decided to build four tower forts around 1846, the Fort at Heemstede (tower not built), the Fort aan de Liede, the Fort at the Nieuwe Meer and the Fort at Schiphol.
