Story · Fort aan den Hoek van Holland
You're standing at the fort of Hoek van Holland, also known as Fort 1881. See those rounded domes? They look impressive, but they're replicas made of sprayed concrete in 1995. The real turrets were cast iron. The Germans removed them in 1943 and melted them down for their war industry.
