Fortress Van Der Wijck



Van Der Wijk fortress built in the XVIII century by the Dutch for the defense, and even sometimes to attack.
The name of the fort is taken from VAN DER Wijck, the name emblazoned on the right door, chances are the name of the commander at the time.
Easily accessible from downtown Gombong, Kebumen. The fort is sometimes associated with the name COCHIUS FRANS DAVID (1787 - 1876), The General who served in the Western District Bagelen whose names are enshrined into the Citadel Generaal COCHIUS.
Furthermore, defense fort was used for military school.
Once renovated into tourist attractions, this area features a garden, swimming pool and children playing area.



Inside the fort, visitors can see some photos of the documentation about the original shape of the building when it was discovered the fort and castle restoration stages. Rooms of the former military barracks, dormitories, gatehouse can be seen inside the fort and everything is pretty much in neat and clean condition. It's just a notice board affixed to the outer castle containing "Before entering the castle you should pray for a moment by the trust each of you", could cause wrinkles didahi while reading it because the impression is spooky. Could it ever happen things outside of reason that struck visitors as being in the fort, like a man possessed???
