The Gevangenpoort is the only preserved medieval city gate of Bergen op Zoom. It is even one of the oldest existing city gates in the Netherlands.
The gate was built around 1350 as part of a stone fortress wall with a moat. By expanding the fortress in 1484, the gate was located within the walls of the city. As a result, it loses its function as a gateway and defense structure. In the meantime, the gate has been a prison for some time, which means it has been spared demolition. The gate was still used as a prison until about 1925.
In 2015, the Prison Gate was restored and redesigned, so that the stories of the gate and its residents can be experienced even better.

This gate is actually "De Gevangenpoort" also known as Lievevrouwepoort.
The old city gate is the oldest monument in the city. The gate dates from the 14th century and is one of the remaining examples of city gates as they were found in Dutch cities in the Middle Ages. It is the only city gate left in Bergen op Zoom, and a national monument.
