Fort Bourtange

Fort Bourtange  is a star-shaped moated fort situated in thevillage of Bourtange, Groningen, Netherlands.

During the Eighty Years' War, the Spaniards had control overGroningen and the road leading from there to Germany.William, the leader of the Netherlands, saw it necessary to

 break off communications between Groningen and Germany.

He decided that it would be optimal to build a fortification onthe Bourtange passage, which the main road was leading toGermany. The fort was completed in 1593 in the design of astar fort with a network of canals and lakes which were usedas moats (which were also constructed in the design of stars).Soon after its construction, Spanish forces from Groningen

 besieged it, though the attack ended in failure.

After its eventual secession and conversion into a village in1851, living conditions began to deteriorate. Over 100 yearslater in 1960, the local government decided that to combat thisgrowing problem, the old Fort would be restored to its 1740-

1750 appearance and made into a historical museum. This provided valuable tourism for the surrounding village. TheFort still remains a museum today.
