Casemate Peel-Raamstelling S (3a) 420
This casemate was built in the period 1939-1940. The Casemate is located a few hundred meters north of the intersection with the Gemertseweg. At the Casemate, a forest path from the Sint Anthonis Forestry Farm comes to a dead end at the canal. The Casemate could deliver frontal fire on this path and flanking fire on the forecourt. The Casemate is in good condition and has no war damage.
