Battery under Brakel - Brakel

N 51.812105605668 / E 5.061376694075

The Battery under Brakel was an outpost that prevented the old fortresses of Loevestein and Woudrichem from being reached by enemy fire. The simple fortress also defended the Waal, the southern Waal dike and the floodplains. After decay set in, the Stichting Waterlinie Bommelerwaard came to the rescue in 2008. The intention is that the battery will look like what it was in its proud years, including the free field of fire.
