Natuurpoort Fort Altena

Fort Altena - which is part of the New Dutch Waterline - was built between 1840 and 1850 as a round earthen redoubt, with a freestanding bombproof tower. A moat with a drawbridge was built around it. Later the fort was strengthened and expanded to its current form. Nowadays you will find a nice brasserie with a nice terrace: Kazerne B. The chef likes to spoil you with healthy and tasty snacks and bites. A nice base in the land of Heusden and Altena, close to the highway southeast of Sleeuwijk. Fort Altena, disarmingly hospitable!
