Fort St Pieter (Fortifications) - Maastricht
Previous Next
Fort St. Pieter. At the most northerly point of the Sint Pietersberg mount, Fort Sint Pieter was constucted between 1701 and 1702. This fortification was built to prevent Maastricht being bombarded in the future from the Sint Pietersberg mount - as had been the case in the siege of 1673 by the Sun King Louis XIV. The fort, which was visited by Tsar Peter the Great some years after its completion, has a pentagonal ground plan and a ring gallery pierced by gun embrasures. In the innermost part of the fort a deep well can be found together with a bomb-proof chambers. The fort is connected to the system of tunnels, which run under the Sint Pietersberg mount.
