The IJsselpoort gate is located on the north side of Montfoort's old town center, near the Hollandse IJssel River. It was originally part of the city walls, which also had gates on the west and east sides and a Waterpoort (Water Gate) as an entrance.

In 1329, Montfoort was granted city rights. The then-viscount was so powerful that he could grant them on his own. This was unusual, as a bishop or count was usually involved. A city wall was built around Montfoort with three gates and a town hall. One of the gates has become part of the city's coat of arms.

The pillories, which convicts used to walk through the city, hang on the gate.
