Fort bij Rijnauwen

Staying in Living History

Fort bij Rijnauwen is the largest and greenest fortification of the New Dutch Waterline, with 31 ha, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2021. 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 hidden just a stone's throw away from the city of Utrecht.  

Staatsbosbeheer has given the fort a second life with a new function to experience it in a way that fits this time and the capacity of the fort and the surrounding nature. Part of the fort complex and 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. Customization based on our customers' wishes is a top priority for our hospitable staff.

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