Stelling van Amsterdam
The Stelling van Amsterdam is a 135-kilometre fortification line around Amsterdam, which would function as a national redoubt. It comprises 45 forts, as well as dams, dikes, locks, pumping stations, batteries and casemates. The forts are 10–15 kilometres from the centre and lowlands, which can easily be inundated in time of war.
