Fort at Jutphaas - Bombproof Remise B
The fort at Jutphaas is part of the New Dutch Waterline and defended a narrow strip of land that could not be flooded. The origins of the fort can be traced back to around 1820. The fort was further expanded in 1848, 1871 and 1872. During the Second World War, the fort served as a transmitting station for the German Navy.
The bomb-proof Depot B is completely covered with earth and has a double wooden door at the front. This depot has one room in which artillery can be placed.
