Kustbatterij bij Diemerdam

Fort Diemerdam is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. It is an open coastal battery and therefore looks different from other fortresses; actually the complex should not even be called a fort. "Fort Diemerdam" is therefore a name that originated in popular speech. The coastal battery has two official names: 'Werk aan het IJ for Diemerdam' and 'Coastal battery at Diemerdam'. The fort is slightly hidden on the IJmeer with a view of Pampus, the coastal battery at Durgerdam and IJburg.
