Forgotten History
Fort Den Haak
Vrouwenpolder, Netherlands
Fort Den Haak is a former fort that was located near Vrouwenpolder on Walcheren. The fort was built in 1588 by order of the States of Zeeland, because there was fear of a Spanish invasion. In the seventeenth century, the fort was damaged by seawater and lost part of its strategic value due to advancing dunes. In 1809, British troops landed close to the fort and it was captured after little resistance.
