Small Fort, Significant In Importance
Fort de Windt的点评
点评：This Fort is not a regular fort (even inclined to say Tripadvisor is erroneously using the picture of Fort Oranje for this item), but more of a small bulwark. As rightfully stated by other posts in this thread, it is not for people not being a history buff.
If you are, this spot signifies a lot. Apart from being named after an influential family in the region, it was the border post of affluent Statia to its British competitors (that would in the end burn the place down); you can see cars driving on St. Kitts from here.
The fact that it is still there, shows how serious the Dutch took their defense of this small island, and its importance in turn - later leading to the "Salute" that recognized the United States for the first time (that was however Fort Oranje). Given the fact that Statia markets itself as "Historic Gem", a must for the visitor type it should attract.
As occurs on many Statia visits, there is nothing around here except for history - so bring water or picknick if needed.

翻译：这座堡垒并非普通的堡垒（甚至有人认为Tripadvisor误用了奥兰治堡（Fort Oranje）的图片来指代此商品），更像是一座小型堡垒。正如本帖其他帖子所言，它不适合非历史爱好者。
如果你是历史爱好者，那么这个地方意义非凡。它不仅以该地区一个权势显赫的家族命名，还曾是富裕的斯塔提亚与其英国竞争对手（最终被英国烧毁）的边境哨所；从这里你可以看到汽车在圣基茨岛上行驶。
它至今仍屹立不倒，表明荷兰人对保卫这座小岛及其重要性的重视——后来，荷兰人举行了“致敬仪式”，首次承认了美国（但那其实是奥兰治堡）。鉴于斯塔提亚自诩为“历史瑰宝”，它应该吸引这类游客，成为必游之地。
正如许多斯塔提亚之旅一样，这里除了历史之外什么也没有 - 因此如果需要的话可以带上水或野餐。
