Forte Tienhoven

Description

Il forte Tienhoven fu costruito tra il 1848 e il 1850 per poter chiudere il canale di Tienhoven e per sorvegliare il relativo argine d'inondazione, la chiusa e il ponte Kraaienestersluis verso il Vecht. Quest'area a est del Vecht era parte della Nuova Linea d'Acqua Olandese. I prati potevano essere allagati in caso di emergenza (inondati) aprendo le chiuse, in modo che il nemico non potesse avanzare ulteriormente nell'area. Luoghi strategici importanti, come incroci stradali o chiuse, venivano difesi con un forte. Lungo il Vecht troviamo forti a Muiden, Weesp, Nigtevecht, Nieuwersluis, Maarssen e qui quindi sul canale di Tienhoven. Quando la Linea d'Acqua Olandese fu abolita, i forti finirono in disuso. Così, la natura poté svilupparsi indisturbata, e ora in molti forti si trovano flora e fauna particolari. Questo forte è ora una riserva naturale della Staatsbosbeheer.
