On the south side of the town is the Oranje (Orange) Bastion, with a cannon of 1511 known as Bose Griet, almost 6.5m/21ft long, with a bore of 17cm/6- 5/8in. The cannon was cast in Cologne and bears the legend "I protect 's- Hertogenbosch"; it proved, however, to be unfit for use. Farther east is the Baselaar Bastion.
