This red painted wooden bridge over the Westerwoldsche Aa was built in 1976 over the dead arm of the Westerwoldsche Aa. It is a copy of an eighteenth-century bridge that used to be in Oudeschans. The bridge has two gate doors, with which the bridge can be closed. The bridge is the western entrance to the old Oudeschans fortress. Next to the bridge you can still see the entrance to the harbor that used to be near the Garrison Church in Oudeschans.

Oudeschans Fortress Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

In addition to Oudeschans, the museum also highlights the surrounding redoubts on both sides of the border (Grensland-Schansenland). After all, it is the area where the 80-year war with Spain started in 1568. The museum gives you a good idea of how people lived and worked in a fortress in the 17th and 18th centuries.
