Omschrijving

Fort Church.

Also located within Fort Amsterdam in the capital city of Willemstad, the Fortkerk dates back to 1769, and features former warehouses under the Church and a Museum. It has sturdy walls that were built to withstand any attack, and the evidence below explains it did. (A cannonball imbedded in an exterior wall has been left as a reminder of the attack by the British in 1804 when the Fort was shelled. Local legend has it that the cannonball was fired from Captain Bligh’s infamous Bounty).
