Pampus
is an
artificial island
and late 19th-century
sea fort
located in the
IJmeer
near
Amsterdam
. Together with the
artillery battery
on the lighthouse island near
Durgerdam
and the battery at the Diemer seawall, Pampus protected the entrance to
IJ Bay
and the harbour of Amsterdam. It now belongs to the municipality of
Gooise Meren
and is open to visitors.
