Fort Batenstein, Butre

Butre, Butre · Western

A ruined Dutch fort on a hill above Butre village and its lagoon, with a lovely empty beach below.

The local tip

Walk up through the village for the fort and down to the lagoon beach; the village is small enough to see in a morning.

Check before leaving

Confirm a caretaker is present and agree the small entry fee.
