"Plattegrond van Philippsburg, ca. 1695" is an anonymous 17th-century map of the fortified city of Philippsburg, located on the Rhine River. The detailed engraving, measuring 178 mm in height and 248 mm in width, illustrates the intricate layout of the city's defenses, including its moats, bastions, and surrounding terrain. Now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, this map offers a glimpse into the military architecture and strategic importance of Philippsburg during the late 17th century.
