Tower Fort on the Ossenmarkt
Fort aan de Ossenmarkt in the fortified town of Weesp was built to defend both banks of the river Vecht, the sluices and the Amsterdam-Hilversum railway line with its bridge across the Vecht. The tower fort at the Ossenmarkt dates from 1861. Today, the fort functions as a business centre. The former engineer depot houses a garden shop and the wooden artillery shed is used as an exhibition space. The building is also home to various associations and a music school. The fort is not freely accessible to the public, but is opened on limited occasions. Keep an eye on our UITagenda for this.
