About this place
This artificial island, one of the Coolest and Most Unusual Places to Visit in The Netherlands, was built in the 19th century to protect Amsterdam from enemy attacks.
The fort built on this island has managed to dissuade the attackers for many years. It was however closed too early in 1933 before the rise of Nazism in Germany.
During their occupation of the Netherlands the Nazis used this island as an anti-aircraft base.
The fort then fell into ruin before being renovated in the 1990s by a heritage protection association. The island is open to the public from April 1st to November 1st (closed on Mondays).
