Forgotten History
Fort Buitensluis
Oud-Beijerland, Netherlands
Fort Buitensluis is a fort located on the Hollandsch Diep in Numansdorp. It was part of the Defense Line of the Hollandsch Diep and the Volkerak and it still exists. In 1793, a defensible earthwork was constructed next to the harbor of Numansdorp, in front of the lock of the harbor and this determined the name. The purpose of this was to monitor shipping between the Volkerak and the Hollandsch Diep.
