The Koepoort, sole survivor of the four city gates.
Ninove, which acquired city rights in the 14th century, was defended by the castle, a tower and an earthen wall, interrupted by four city gates. The gates provided access to the city via the four main approach roads: the Brabantse Poort on the road from Brussels, the Geraardsbergse Poort on the road from the city of the same name and the Kloosterpoort on the road from Aalst. The Koepoort gave access to the Nederwijk (hence also "Nederwijkpoort"), the Kouter and the Dendermeersen.

In the Middle Ages, Ninove had a magnificent city wall with four city gates. In the following centuries the city grew beyond its old walls and three of the four gates had to be demolished. The Koepoort is the only remaining city gate of Ninove today. It has served as a prison, fire station and even a library over the years. Now and then readings and concerts take place here.

The Koepoort is a city gate in the Koepoortstraat in Ninove. It is the only survivor of the four city gates that Ninove once had. The gate gave access to the Nederwijk, the Kouter and the Dendermeersen. In times of peace, the gate served as a home for poor people, a warehouse for powder and weaponry, and a prison. The Koepoort was already mentioned in the 14th century and was called the Warmoespoort from 1397 to the end of the 16th century. Afterwards the gate was given the name Nederwijkpoort. It was completely destroyed in 1462 and subsequently rebuilt.
