Schenkenschanz is site of the former Schenkenschans fortress that was of significance in the Dutch Revolt.
==Today== Schenkenschanz is a village within Kleve and home to about 100 inhabitants (2013). Most of its 38 hectares is not protected against flooding and part of a nature preserve. Schenkenschanz is located about 5 km north of the center of Kleve. Until 1972 it could only be reached by ferry service across the nearby old Rhine arm, while today the Kleve-Griethausen bridge provides a road connection.
