The fortified enclosure of Bergues has been preserved in its entirety. The Bierne Gate (1585) is made up of a small castle flanked by two towers which frame the drawbridge.

The early 15th-century Porte de Bierne, located opposite Bergues station, is an imposing gate in the western part of the city's defensive wall.
With its two massive U-shaped towers, it looks like a small castle in itself.
A drawbridge was later added.
