Fort Liezele and city visit Dendermonde, Julien Stiévenart

We leave in Turnhout by bus towards Antwerp. In the morning we bring a visit with a guide to Fort Liezele, the best-preserved armored fort of Vesting Antwerpen. It is an appointment with history. We return in time, discover the importance of Antwerp on the eve of WWI. We relive the siege, the experiences of the garrison, and the consequences for the population. Admire the unique museum collection while you wander through the mystical corridors of this pristine fort. Interactive displays, virtual reality, game consoles, and audiovisual montages cast a clear light on a forgotten episode from WWI. Enjoy this unique experience for young and old.
