The Porte Faurœulx is part of the fortified city walls built between the 15th and 17th centuries. These walls were built to protect the city from attacks and sieges. The gate itself dates from this period and is a remnant of the military architecture of the time.
The gate is designed in a Renaissance style with strongly fortified walls and gateways strategically placed to protect the city. It has a circular plan and is built of brick and stone, which is typical of the military architecture of the period.
