De Poartewente is a monumental building at Vrijhof 7 in Ferwert and is estimated to date from the 17th century. The name "Poartewente" comes from the gate next to the building, which forms the connection between the Vrijhof and the church with the cemetery behind the Vrijhof.

The Poartewente owes its name to the adjacent gate, which forms the connection between the Vrijhof and the church and cemetery, which are located behind the Vrijhof. Conversely, in the early 19th century, the residents of the building also derived their name from the gate.
