    Hiking

    On your way to the abbey, you'll first encounter this Lion's Gate. Dating from 1725, it is the abbey's outermost gate. Unlike the next gate, the Mariapoort (Maria's Gate), it has no building.

    Description: "Lion's Gate, dating from 1726, rests on bluestone pillars decorated with French joints and features capstones crowned with lions; incorporated into the enclosure wall, complete with a small corner tower, that demarcated the former state square."
