Fort Isabella Barracks

Experience the rich military history of Vught. Together with Van der Valk Hotel ’s-Hertogenbosch-Vught, the Fort Isabella Kazerne Foundation offers guided tours of the special barracks complex which is located just a stone's throw away.

From around 1617 Fort Isabella controlled the southern access to the city of ’s-Hertogenbosch and for centuries it formed a significant obstacle that had to be overcome to seize the city.

The ancient history is explained to you through special stories, a visit to the 18th-century gatehouse, and possibly a walk through the envelope, which has now been overgrown by forest. The museum collection Cyclists commemorates the famous regiment that had its main barracks here and the fighters who fell in the May days of 1940. They are still remembered at this location.

Fort Isabella is a place with something for everyone. A historical visit can be combined with a visit to the artisanal coffee roastery where a Brabant sausage roll is, of course, not to be missed. With a somewhat larger group, brains can be trained in one of the two escape rooms. All activities can be tailored to your personal preferences.
