Description

The buildings have taken heavy fire during both world wars. The property formerly was responsible for the defense of a big city now has a very different purpose. Since the conversion to a recreational area, there now is the possibility to fish in the moat of this impressive old building.
Besides fishing, a number of sports and other events take place on this location. In the early eighties a technical motocross circuit was constructed on the within the walls of the fort. Motocross competitions are held twice a year. 4×4 and cyclocross events have also found their home at this location.
