The Amsterdamse Poort, formerly called the Spaarnwouderpoort, is a Haarlem city gate from 1486.[source?] The gate is located at the end of the Spaarnwouderstraat and the old route from Amsterdam to Haarlem. After its construction, it was called the Spaarnwouderpoort because the road to Amsterdam at that time ran via Spaarnwoude in connection with the passage of the Liede.

The Amsterdamse Poort is the only gate that remains of the original fourteen city gates. It is also the very first gate that was mentioned. It was built during the first expansion of the city, when the Burgwal, an area east of the Spaarne, was pulled within the walls.[1]

According to tradition, Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer is said to have stood on the ramparts at the Amsterdamse Poort to repel the Spanish attack during the Eighty Years' War. It is the only gate that survived the siege without significant damage.
