The Most Unique Star-Shaped Fortress in Europe | Fort Bourtange Netherlands

Hey my dear friends, join me on a journey through Fort Bourtange, one of the Netherlands’ most unique and beautifully preserved star-shaped fortresses. We’ll walk past canals, drawbridges, ramparts, cannons, and the iconic Vestingmolen Bourtange windmill, exploring how every part of the fort served a strategic purpose. Inside the walls, you’ll see charming homes, church, and the central Marktplein. After the fortress tour, enjoy a relaxing ride through picturesque Dutch roads as we head toward Groningen — perfect for viewers who love cozy driving footage and scenic European landscapes. Kia ora to all my New Zealand subscribers — hope you enjoy this blend of history, charm, and peaceful travel! ☕ Enjoyed this video?
