Stratemakerstoren

The Stratemakerstoren is a historic 16th-century bastion located in Nijmegen, Netherlands, along the scenic Waalkade by the river Waal. Originally built to fortify the city, this national heritage site has a rich history, including its transformation into a museum in 1995. After being closed for reconstruction in 2015, it is set to reopen as De Bastei, a center dedicated to nature and cultural history. Visitors can admire the tower's architectural significance and its picturesque setting near the Valkhof castle, making it a fascinating stop for tourists and researchers alike.
