Tips

The Koppelpoort is a double city gate in Amersfoort. It is a combination of a land and water gate. The name is probably derived from the East Middle Dutch word coppel which means common pasture (also called meent). The area outside the gate was a communal area and was called the Couple. It is believed that the gate was named after this area. The name probably does not indicate the fact that the gate has two functions.

The Koppelpoort in Amersfoort is a unique medieval gate that served both land and water traffic, built in the early 15th century as part of the city’s defenses. Its clever design and historic treadwheel mechanism, once powered by workers walking inside giant wheels, make it a fascinating symbol of the city’s heritage.
