Fort Asperen
Fort Asperen
This magnificent tower fort, built between 1845 and 1847, is surrounded by a moat for extra protection. Fort Asperen last saw active use on 12 April 1940, as part of preparations for the coming war. However, the Germans flew straight past it. Fort Asperen, which is an artwork in and of itself, is open to visitors in the summer months. The domed roof to keep out the rain, for instance, is made entirely of glass slates designed in the Glassworks at the National Glass Museum.

Grote Kerk Vianen (Great Church)
Grote Kerk Vianen (Great Church)
Hubrecht van Vianen founded a chapel in the 13th Century. It fell under the mother church in Hagestein and began growing fast. In the year 1345, it became a parish church and was granted marriage and burial rights. For this, a sum of money had to be paid to the church in Hagestein annually. In the 14th Century, the chapel was replaced by a single-nave church. In the year 1433, following a feud between Vianen and Hagestein, the Bishop of Utrecht decided to split the two churches.
In the mid-15th Century, the church was replaced by a 3-aisle Gothic hall church which is the same size as the current church. (Including the tower, it’s 77.5 metres long, 43 metres wide and 41 metres high.) Since the church also contains the family graves of the Lords of Vianen, it was required to match the grand status of the Brederodes in terms of its size and appearance.
After a fire in the year 1540, the church (de Grote Kerk) was rebuilt in its current form almost immediately (as a combination of a hall church and cruciform church) with the support of Reinoud III van Brederode. The church became Reformed under his son, Hendrik van Brederode. On 25 September 1566, the Roman Catholic institution disappeared and then, on 1 October, the first Protestant service was held.

Muiden
Muiden
The best way to experience the convivial fortified city of Muiden is to take a stroll by the harbour with its many traditional sailing boats or to settle down at an outdoor café with a view of the Groote Zeesluis. Alternatively, you can explore the fort island of Pampus or visit the centuries-old Amsterdam Castle Muiderslot. Along with Naarden and Weesp, the fortified city of Muiden played an important role. Muiden closed off the Zeedijk dyke and protected the sea and inundation locks of the Vecht. Fort C, also popularly known as ‘the Muizenfort’, has a small museum about the New Dutch Waterline and the Defence Line of Amsterdam.

Diefdijk
Diefdijk
This centuries-old long dyke marks the border between the Betuwe to the east and the lowlands to the west. The purpose of the Diefdijk was to protect the lower-lying meadows whenever the higher Betuwe flooded. The dyke was reinforced in 2015 and still serves its purpose today. It was also part of the New Dutch Waterline: the area to the east of the dyke served as an inundation area. To this day, this area remains scarcely built up. Nature reserves of various sizes border the dyke on either side.
