Fort Waterschans

Highlight • Historical Site

Once the protector of the harbor, then an oyster farm, a lobster park, and built up with industry. Now the canals, ramparts, and inner courtyard have been restored to their former state. But so much has happened at this extensive bulwark as a vital point in the defense of the fortified city of Bergen op Zoom. William of Orange approved the design of this large fort in 1584. Many sieges followed, which the fort withstood. However, it lost its function as a defensive work, but what remains is the interesting history of the Waterschans.

The Waterschans is the oldest fortification in this city, built on the initiative of Prince William of Orange. He had also been Marquis of Bergen op Zoom since 1582. The function of the Waterschans was to defend the harbor entrance, the key to the city.

Beautiful round along the Binnenschelde in Bergen op Zoom. Good walking weather and had a nice ice cream on the boulevard.
Very naturally laid out with many duckboards over and along the water. Together with Cees we made another fun tour!
