Description

Fortet i Kessel er et fort beliggende ved den belgiske by Kessel. Det var en del af den ydre forsvarslinje for byen Antwerpen mod mulige fjender.

Valget af Antwerpen som National Reduit i 1859 førte til beslutningen om Stilling i Antwerpen. Ideen bag dette var, at Antwerpen var den mest passende som den sidste skanse, indtil hjælp fra allierede kunne ankomme. National Reduit ville bestå af en belejringsvold, en fortlinje og undervandindsatser. Fortlinjen ville bestå af otte Brialmont-forter i et 18 km langt bælte fra Wijnegem til Hoboken. Efter den fransk-preussiske krig i 1870 blev det oprindeligt besluttet at bygge tre brohoved-forter og derefter at bygge en ydre forsvarslinje, der var tilpasset moderne våben. Denne sidste plan blev bekræftet ved lov den 30. marts 1906. Denne Hovedforsvarsstilling omfattede på højre bred 16 forter og 10 skanser og på venstre bred 5 forter og 2 skanser.
