Unesco heritage in the polder
Fort Waver-Amstel was built between 1886 and 1911. The original interior from the early 20th century has been well preserved. Currently, the fort is rented out to a wine shop. The fort is the only elevation in the open, flat polder landscape. Only here can you still find some rising vegetation.
