Fort Henricus

Description

Fort Henricus var en fæstning anlagt i 1626 til forsvar af havnen i Steenbergen. Fæstningen er bygget i henhold til et design af David van Orliens, delvist i Graaf Hendrikpolder og delvist i marsken og mudderfladerne, som senere (i 1649 henholdsvis 1788) blev diget som den Gamle og den Nye Vlietpolder. Fæstningen har fem bastioner og en våd grav med en contrescarpe. I 1809 blev fæstningen gjort klar for sidste gang i forbindelse med den mulige britiske invasion i Zeeland. I 1816 blev fæstningen taget ud af brug. I 1827 blev fæstningsområdet solgt til en privat person til brug for landbrug. Fæstningen tilhørte den Vest-Brabantiske Vandlinje.

I 2008 blev der påbegyndt delvis restaurering af fæstningen. Den ejes af Naturmonumenten.
