Forgotten History
Fort Lapin
Bruges, Belgium
Fort Lapin was a fort in the north of Bruges that was built in 1664 to protect the Handelskom, which was dug the same year. The fort is considered part of the State-Spanish Lines, although at that time there was no longer any danger from the State side, since peace had been signed (in 1648) and the borders had been established. This trading basin connected to the Bruges-Oostende canal, dug from 1618-1622. Fort Lapin was located on the border of the former municipalities of Bruges and Koolkerke, in the current Sint-Jozef district.
