Information panel | Bastion | Wolthuissingel

The Bastion, or stronghold, was built in 1645 in order to strengthen the defenses of the city.

Here, you can still see the shape of this old stronghold, which consisted of a ring of canals and moats, and an earthen wall.

The earthen walls have given way to green gardens, but the canals are still clearly visible.
