Archaeological site Bisschopsschans in Staphorst

You're standing south of the village of Rouveen, at the Bisschopsschans, the Bishop's Fort. There's not much fort left to see. Look at the water around you. That moat follows the outer edge of a seventeenth-century fortification. It was dug out again in 2006, so the shape shows up in the landscape once more. A square of around a hundred and ninety metres, with a bastion on every corner.
