Guided tour
Would you like to join a tour of this magnificent fort? The "Fort op de Harssens," unknown to many, was built as an armored fort by the Dutch between 1880 and 1886, then and now part of Stelling Den Helder (Fortress Den Helder). What will you experience? An authentic fort (without furnishings, etc.) where time seems to have stood still. The atmosphere of 1900 is still palpable.
