The gate consists of a solid brick core, a cladding in lime sandstone (Gobertange) with bluestone (Tournai limestone) in the arch frame, moldings and entablature. Built as a triumphal arch in neoclassical style with a slightly projecting wide round arch-shaped passage set in a bluestone frame resting on a continuous cordon molding. Crowning classical entablature consisting of an architrave, a frieze decorated with triglyphs and a cornice with blocks and another central capstone.
