Bourtange

reconstructed star fort · Tier B · provisional

A fortified village near the Dutch–German border. The site occupied a route through marshland and was later restored to an eighteenth-century configuration. Its present appearance therefore includes substantial reconstruction, a distinction to keep visible when comparing old and modern views.
