Fort at Jutphaas - Dam lock D
The fort at Jutphaas is part of the New Dutch Waterline and defended a narrow strip of land that could not be flooded. The origins of the fort can be traced back to around 1820. The fort was further expanded in 1848, 1871 and 1872. During the Second World War, the fort served as a transmitting station for the German Navy.
The height of the water in the fort moat is controlled by two dam locks. Dam lock D dates from 1819 and is located on the eastside of the Fort.
