Schoonhoven Ferry Gate

Highlight • Monument

Quite special that exactly 1 gate from the 17th century has remained. The gate is eye-catching and you are drawn to it, as it were.

Very worth seeing, but even nicer if you continue the tour and at some point you can admire one of these mills alone. The visitor center was very busy.
