The Veerpoort is a 17th-century gate of the city of Schoonhoven, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The gate owes its name to the ferry connection between Schoonhoven and Gelkenes on the other side of the Lek. It is the only remaining gate of the city (wikipedia)

17th century city gate. There used to be five, this is the only remaining gate. The gate owes its name to the ferry connection between Schoonhoven and Gelkenes on the other side of the Lek. There are several terraces nearby.
