The fortress was built in 1886-1888 from brick and concrete to protect the Antwerp-Brussels railway. The fort has strikingly high ramparts and strategically placed groves between the fort and the railway. Kempens Landschap, the current owners, has restored the fort with the support of the Province of Antwerp and the municipality of Duffel. Since 2012, the fortress is protected as a monument.

With this setup you can capture a nice memory with the past in the background.
The Railway Fortress, once built as a fortification to defend the Brussels-Antwerp railway line: more than worth a visit!

Take your time and delve into the past.
