When winter sets in…
When winter sets in, the fort awakens. The trees shed their leaves. Mist drifts across the water and the cold settles amongst the ancient stones. The world seems to be slowly drifting off to sleep. But not the fort. It is precisely when the days grow shorter and the nights longer that a world awakens within its walls – a world that remains hidden for the rest of the year...

A fort full of light and stories

The light projections make the fort itself the centrepiece of the experience. They sweep across walls and vaults, make figures appear on the water and give the natural surroundings of the ramparts an unexpected role. Sound and storytelling guide visitors further into the evening. The scenes draw on the history, nature and mysteries of Fort bij Vechten, ensuring that every discovery remains connected to this place.
