Fort van Lier
Lier, Belgium
The Fort of Lier, in the Belgian province of Antwerp, is part of the Defense Line of Antwerp. The Defense Line of Antwerp was decided upon by the choice of Antwerp as the National Reduit in 1859. The idea behind this was that Antwerp was most suitable as a last fortress until help from allies could arrive. The National Reduit would consist of 1) a siege rampart, 2) a fort belt and 3) flood defenses.
