Koppelpoort

A lovely landmark. Benches around so if you get tired from walking, you could always sit down and admire the view or see people in their bicycles around.

Must-see historical gem! The Koppelpoort is absolutely worth visiting - it’s the only combined land-water gate in the Netherlands and dates back to around 1425. Time your visit for summer and you might catch the cannon demonstrations by De Stadskanonniers - quite a spectacle! Fun fact: if you were caught drunk and fighting in medieval times, your punishment was operating the water gate mechanism, literally running like a rat in a wheel. This is where the Dutch term “raddraaier” (troublemaker) comes from! Beautiful medieval architecture, perfect for photos, and great for history buffs. Definitely add this to your Amersfoort itinerary!

There is a lovely walk between the 2 gates.

Well preserved piece of medieval architecture serving as both a land and water port. There's a bridge right opposite to it that provides a great view of the gate. Kind of odd how they built a railway line right next to it. The Amersfoort Centraal Station itself is a bit of a walk away.

The main gate of the medieval city of Amersfoort is an impressive sight. Sadly, the access to the fortification's interior is restricted. I'm giving only three stars because the overall experience was marred by the unpleasant smell emanating from the dirty water.

The Koppelpoor medieval gate it's a well-preserved structure from the city's old defense wall. You can admire its impressive brickwork, towers, and the scenic surroundings along the canal 🏰✨

Very pretty. Too bad the Three Rings craft brewery had taken an unscheduled holiday when I visited. It would have been great to sit by the water and sip a beer.

An very nice an old entrance gate to the town. There are also tours for this, which explains the history. We walked around and enjoyed the great weather. It is a very good motive for fotos.
