Fort bij Rijnauwen

Staying in living history

Fort bij Rijnauwen is with 31 ha the largest and greenest fortification of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie, since 2021 UNESCO World Heritage Hollandse Waterlinies. Here culture and nature are closely connected. Not only are there protected animal and plant species, but also the 27 monumental buildings with imaginative names like caponnière and reduit are unique in the Netherlands. All of this is tucked away just a stone's throw from the city of Utrecht.  

Staatsbosbeheer has given the fort a second life with a new function to experience it in a way that suits this time and the carrying capacity of the fort and the surrounding nature. Part of the fort complex and fort grounds is available for (exclusive) rental to companies and individuals. From small-scale meetings, workshops, team building to an event, family day, reception or photo shoot. Tailored solutions based on the wishes of our customers are a top priority for our hospitable staff.

The variety of buildings and outdoor spaces offers many options and possibilities year-round where a meeting or event can be combined with a tour or expedition.
