Bourtange, Vlagtwedde, Groningen Province, Netherlands, Europe
Bourtange is a village with a population of 430 in the municipality of Vlagtwedde in the Netherlands. It is situated in the region Westerwolde in the east of the province of Groningen near the German border. Fort Bourtange was built in 1593 during the Dutch Revolt and was used until 1851. The star fort was restored to its mid-18th-century state in 1960 and it is currently an open-air museum. The name Bourtange comes from the Dutch word tange (sand ridge), because the settlement is situated on a strategically important sand ridge in the marshes of the Bourtange Moor. Fort Bourtange was initially built during the Eighty Years' War (circa 1568–1648) when William I of Orange wanted to control the only road between Germany and the city of Groningen which was controlled by the Spanish. This road followed a sandy ridge (tange) through the marshes (the Bourtange Swamp). Later, around 1594, Bourtange became part of the fortifications on the border between the northern provinces (Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe) and Germany. Bourtange was a separate municipality until 1822, when it was merged with Vlagtwedde. In 1851 the star fort was given up and Bourtange became a normal village. Around 1960 living conditions in the village deteriorated and it was decided that Bourtange would be rebuilt to its state of 1740-1750. Today it is an open-air museum. Bourtange is located in the north of the municipality of Vlagtwedde and in the east of the province of Groningen near the German border. It is situated on a sand ridge in the Bourtange Moor, in the region of Westerwolde. In 2001, the town of Bourtange had 267 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 0.21 km², and contained 133 residences. In 2005, the statistical area Bourtange, which also can include the surrounding countryside, had a population of around 530. As of 2012, Bourtange has a population of 430 and a population density of 270/km2 (700/sq mi).

Festung Bourtange in Holland / Rundgang 4K Video
Willkommen im Jahre 1742!
Bourtange ist eine bewohnte ehemalige Festung in den Niederlanden. Sie liegt in der niederländischen Provinz Groningen, zwei Kilometer von der deutsch-niederländischen Grenze bei Dörpen entfernt. Bourtange gehört zu Westerwolde, deren Gemeindeteil Vlagtwedde deshalb eine Kanone im Wappen führt.
Die Festung umschließt mit ihren Außenwerken die gleichnamige Festungsstadt. Sie ist eine der wenigen Festungen in Europa, die nach ihrem fast vollständigen Verfall in den letzten Jahrzehnten wieder aufgebaut wurde. Die Anlage diente der Überwachung der wenigen Straßen und Wege in dieser vormals völlig versumpften Landschaft. Das Bourtanger Moor, beiderseits der Grenze, ist nach der Festung benannt.

Cinematic Bourtange
Recently I took my dji fpv drone and mini 2 to Bourtange in the Dutch province of Groningen. Please enjoy these cinematic flights over Bourtange.
Here is some information about Bourtange:
One of the best-preserved fortifications in the country stands at tiny Bourtange near the German border. With its flooded moats, solid defences and quaint houses protected from all sides, it is a sight to behold, taking you back to a time when rogue armies wandered the land and villagers built walls to keep them at bay.
Built in the late 1500s, Bourtange Fortress represents the pinnacle of the fortifications of the era. It could withstand months of siege by an invading army, and famously checked the Bishop of Münster's advance on Groningen in the 17th century.
Take a Minute to Fly 03: Fort Bourtange
In this first (official) episode of our new series “Take a Minute to Fly” (it takes three episodes to start a series), we would like to introduce you to the beautifully restored Fort Bourtange under a typical Dutch winter sky. The fortress is located in the municipality of Westerwolde, in the north of the Netherlands, east of the city of Groningen and close to the German border.
The origin of the name of Bourtange stands for the word “boer” meaning farmer, and “tange” the name of a sandy ridge leading through the marshes or swamps, as the “Bourtanger Moor” was the largest wetland of north-western Europe at the time.
Bourtange played an important role in the history of 80 years war between Spain and the Netherlands (1568-1648). The fortress of Bourtange was initially planned to be constructed during the time of William I of Orange, but after his assassination, it was finished by his cousin William Louis. It was built on the only route through the marshes that connected the city of Groningen with Lingen and Westphalia, in what is now Germany. With the creation of Bourtange, the Dutch blocked the supply route of the Spaniards and isolated the city of Groningen, which at the time was under their control.
Due to its strategic location and the surrounding swamp, no major battles were ever held around Bourtange. After the Netherlands and Spain signed the end of 80 years war in the Treaty of Münster, Bourtange lost its importance and popularity. However, when some decades later the Prince-Bishop of Münster, an ally of France in the Franco-Dutch War, laid claim to and invaded north-eastern parts of the newly formed “Republic of 7 United Netherlands”, Bourtange was reinforced again as a fortress. After a failed attempt to conquer the municipality of Westerwolde in 1665, which saw a relatively small garrison at Bourtange push the invading armies back into the swamps, the Prince-Bishop changed his tactics and started invading the provinces south of Groningen. When the Prussian armies returned to Bourtange on the 11th of July 1672, they demanded the surrender of the fortress. The captain in charge of the Bourtange Fortress, Bernard Johan Prott, refused. Even after the Prussian General Heinrich Martel offered Prott and his fellow officers, 200.000 guilders (worth over 2,5 million Euros today), as well as titles in Westphalia, if they would abandon the fort. To which Prott famously replied, that they would have 200,000 bullets for any army that wanted to take the fort. After some unsuccessful attempts to take the fortress, the Prince-Bishop was forced to retreat, and find another way into Groningen.
As the power of guns increased and the swap was drained, the significance of the fortress of Bourtange decreased. Over the years the fortress had been extended, but finally, in 1851, the fortress was dissolved. After that farmers, workers and traders came to the fortress. But this was only for a short while and people eventually left the bastion. Around a century later people began to make plans to reconstruct the fortified village. So that’s what happened. Between 1972 and 1992 Bourtange was reconstructed into the fortified village of the year 1742. That was when the fortress of Bourtange was at its biggest and had its most power. People not only reconstructed the unique historical defence work but also recreated a swamp. This beautiful historic location is now open to the public.

Bourtange is an inhabited former fortress in the Netherlands. It is located in the Dutch province of Groningen, two kilometres from the German-Dutch border near Dörpen. Bourtange belongs to Westerwolde, whose district Vlagtwedde therefore has a cannon in its coat of arms.
The fortress encloses the fortified town of the same name with its outer works. It is one of the few fortresses in Europe that has been rebuilt in recent decades after its almost complete decay. The fortress served to monitor the few roads and paths in this formerly completely marshy landscape. Bourtanger Moor, on both sides of the border, is named after the fortress.

ZichtOp: Bourtange (NL)
Een tange is een pas (pad) door een moerasgebied. Een leger dat vanuit het Oosten Groningen wilde aanvallen moest altijd de Bour-tange passeren. In 1580 gaf Willem van Oranje opdracht hier een schans met 5 bastions aan te leggen. In 1593 was de bouw voltooid. In 1681 bleek het moeras geheel opgedroogd te zijn door werkzaamheden van de omwonende boeren. Pas in 1737 was de vesting weer in een verdedigbare toestand gebracht. In de jaren daarna werden de verdedigingswerken verder uitgebreid. In 1851 werd de ooit zo belangrijke vesting als zodanig opgeheven. Alleen burgers woonden er nog. De militairen waren vertrokken. Begin jaren 70 van de vorige eeuw besloot men de vesting te restaureren naar de situatie van 1742 toen de vesting zijn grootste omvang had. In 1992 waren de werkzaamheden afgerond. Sindsdien is het een toeristische trekpleister.
