    The Sneker Waterpoort is a water gate over the Hoogendsterpipe in Sneek. The gate consists of two octagonal towers, with a bridge between them over the shipping route between the De Kolk and the Stadsgracht in the city centre, and a gatekeeper's house above the bridge. Sneek had four other water gates and two land gates, all of which have been demolished. The Waterpoort remained and is nowadays the symbol of Sneek. This symbol can be found in the mainsail of the Sneeker skûtsje Sneker Pan, and in the sails and clothing of the Sneeker sailmaker Gaastra.

    Just one of the most famous symbols of Friesland and in any case of Sneek.
