The Wijkse gate is a reconstructed city gate overlooking the marina. In the past, it provided access to the road to Wijk.
The bend in the gate is remarkable. This has a strategic advantage. If the enemy wanted to conquer the city gate, they would be fired upon once past the bend. You can also see the notches in the walls where beams were inserted to make it more difficult for the enemy.
