The other of the two remaining gates in the city wall of Leiden

Google 번역•원문 보기

The Zijlpoort (literally "Zijl Gate") is, along with the Morspoort, the only one of the eight former city gates to have survived. The gate was built in 1667 in the neoclassical style according to a design by the Leiden architect Willem van der Helm and adorned with sculptures by Rombout Verhulst. The clock was cast by Hemony in 1668. Since the gate had to be connected to both the former city wall and the bridge in front of it, the building is shaped like a parallelogram. The Oude Rijn flows from the nearby River Zijl through the Zijlpoort into the city of Leiden. The Oude Zijlpoort, the predecessor of this gate, was located 300 meters further west on Haarlemmerstraat (between Koestraat and Havenplein), where the old city wall originally ran. Over time, the Zijlpoort, and especially the hall above the passage, served various purposes: in the early 18th century, rhetoricians met here; from 1736 onward, a school for poor children was established there; and in the 19th century, municipal goods were stored there. In the last quarter of the 20th century, the Zijlpoort underwent two major renovations. During the most recent renovation in the 1990s, supporting structures were added to both sides of the gate. Since 1999, one of these structures has housed a restaurant. The cemetery of the same name has been located next to the Zijlpoort since 1828. The gate has been a national monument since 1968.

Along the route, you'll encounter a wide variety of polder windmills. These windmills were designed to pump water from low-lying areas and thus keep the land dry. The vast majority of the mills around the Kagerplassen lakes are characteristic hollow post mills with a cube-shaped upper house.

Of course, I have to like this one, because it's named after my dad, a huge cycling fan. 😊 But seriously, it's a great bridge for crossing the RandstadRail on your racing bike.

Busy. Be careful

The Tram Bridge over the Vlaardingervaart canal near Schipluiden is a bicycle bridge. Steam trams of the Westland Steam Tramway Company (WSM) used to run here, transporting vegetables from the Westland region to Delft. Between 1912 and 1932, passengers were also transported. After the war, diesel locomotives were used. The WSM tram line was closed in 1968. The bridge has been used as a bicycle bridge since 1974 and is an important link in the cycle routes of Midden-Delfland. The Tram Bridge has been a national monument since 2001.
