About

Bastion Maria marks a historic fortification at the edge of 's-Hertogenbosch, reconstructed to reveal the original scale and form of the 15th-century city wall. The site features carefully preserved masonry and visible gunports that tell the story of its defensive role during the Eighty Years' War.

Set beside the water, the bastion offers a quiet, green space ideal for informal gatherings or outdoor breaks. Its fenced perimeter provides a secure environment, though access involves stairs, which may limit convenience for some guests.

  • Outdoor breaks & casual team refreshers
  • Quiet reflection & informal meetups
