Forgotten History
Schanstoren van Arcen
Netherlands
The Schanstoren van Arcen is a surviving 15th-century fortified brick watchtower situated on the Schans along the Meuse River in Arcen, Limburg. Originally built as part of the defensive river toll fortifications protecting the village and castle approach, it is the sole remaining bastion tower of the historic defensive earthworks. Designated as a national Rijksmonument, this solitary brick sentinel stands as a weathered testament to medieval border conflicts.
