Ninove, which acquired city rights in the 14th century, was defended by the castle, a tower and an earthen wall, interrupted by four city gates. The gates provided access to the city via the four main approach roads: the Brabantse Poort on the road from Brussels, the Geraardsbergse Poort on the road from the city of the same name and the Kloosterpoort on the road from Aalst. The Koepoort gave access to the Nederwijk (hence also "Nederwijkpoort"), the Kouter and the Dendermeersen.
All the gates in peacetime served as homes for the poor, storage place for powder and weaponry, prison.
