Netherlands · 18th century
Fort Sint Pieter is a fort that was built in 1701-02 on the northern flank of the Sint-Pietersberg in Maastricht. Until 1867 the fort had a military function as part of the fortifications of Maastricht. Today the structure is a rijksmonument (national monument) and a tourist attraction.
To the southwest of the fort formerly lay the Grote Ingang (Great Entrance) of the Northern Gallery System, to the southeast the Predikherengat and to the northwest the Ancienne Brasserie quarry.
