Forgotten History

Fort Kijkuit

Wijdemeren, Netherlands

Fort Kijkuit is a fortification of the New Dutch Waterline. The fort was built in 1844 and extensively modified in 1880. It served to close the road between Loosdrecht and Vreeland (the N201) and in the 1930s the adjacent Hilversums Kanaal was added. In 1935 a casemate was added with an armored front, this is rare, only Fort aan de Drecht has something comparable.
