Fort Bourtange (Dutch: Vesting Bourtange), located in the village of Bourtange in Groningen, Netherlands, was built in 1593 under the orders of William the Silent. Its primary purpose was to protect the only road between Germany and Groningen, which was then controlled by the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War. It experienced its last battle in 1672, and continued to be part of the defensive network on the German border until it was abandoned in 1851 and converted into a village. Today, Fort Bourtange is a historical museum.
