Lammenschans refers to a former fort located in Leiden along the Vliet. In October 2020 remains of the fort were found near a modern bridge called Lammebrug, about half a kilometre more southerly than earlier assumed (52.1404°N, 4.4878°E).[1] According to local legend, a large Spanish cooking pot filled with hutspot was found there on 3 Oktober 1574 by Cornelis Joppenszoon after the Spanish forces fled at the conclusion of the Siege of Leiden. Later historians have concluded that this pot, which today is in the collection of the Museum De Lakenhal, was actually found by Gijsbert Cornelisz. Schaeck and was engraved with the story by his son in the 17th century.[2][3] A statue of Cornelis Joppensz with his pot can be seen at the train station today. The Leiden rescue, or Leidens Ontzet is celebrated each year in Leiden on October 3.
