The Anonymous Widower

Dutch Water Line

The Water Line is a series of defensive forts, towns, castles and dikes, that was built to protect the Dutch heartland from invasion in the 17th century.  It was upgraded for many years, but proved inadequate in the Second World War as it was just by-passed by the Nazis.

This is one of the impressive castles, Slot Loevestein.

The castle, and in fact the whole Water Line, is definitely worth a visit.
