Amsterdam Castle Muiderslot is over 700 years old and surrounded by water and beautiful historic gardens. It’s one of the oldest and best-preserved moated castles in the Netherlands and was built in 1285 with a single clear goal in mind: defence. The castle has a long and turbulent history.

In recent times, the castle with its fortifications has been a cornerstone of four water defence lines: the Utrecht Waterline, the Old and New Waterline and the Defence Line of Amsterdam (Stelling van Amsterdam, a UNESCO World Heritage site).

As was customary in the seventeenth century, the beautiful historic gardens of Muiderslot are still used for decorative and practical purposes. Behind the castle is the plum orchard. The orchard was a source of inspiration and joy for the writer and poet Pieter Cornelisz Hooft ('the Dutch Shakespeare') who lived at the Muiderslot castle in the 17th century.

Fort Island Pampus was built between 1887 and 1897. To defend Amsterdam a military master plan was conceived, the Defense Line of Amsterdam. Against an attack from the River IJ it was decided to build a fortress in the Lake IJmeer. This was to be located on the sand bank "Pampus". The first stage of the building was to lay down a work platform where the centre of the fort would stand. The vast quantities of material were delivered by ship out of Amsterdam. A German Company built the steel gun turrets.

The entire Defence Line of Amsterdam is protected by the Province of North Holland and the Dutch government as a monument. In 1996 the UNESCO officially recognized the importance of this historical Dutch defence system by including the 'Stelling' in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
