Fort Sint-Michiel is a vanished, originally Spanish fort, situated in Venlo, the Netherlands, and is named after the archangel Michael. Construction of this fort started in 1641 on Michaelmas, September 29.
In 1632, Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange , conquered the city of Venlo from the Spaniards in the Eighty Years' War. In 1637, after a long siege, he lost the city to the same Spaniards. Although the city had built a solid defense structure during the 16th century, a decision was made to build this fort on the west bank of the river Meuse. In 1646, Frederick Henry took another attempt to siege the city. Because the fort was already completed by then, he failed in his attempt.
