Schoonhoven Ferry Gate

Highlight • Monument

The Veerpoort is a 17th-century gate of the city of Schoonhoven, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The gate owes its name to the ferry connection between Schoonhoven and Gelkenes on the other side of the Lek. It is the only remaining gate of the city.

Schoonhoven Town Hall

Schoonhoven Town Hall, built in 1452, is a late Gothic monument located on the harbor. It boasts a striking wooden clock tower with a historic carillon and a rich interior collection. It was thoroughly restored in the 20th century and is considered one of the finest examples of medieval urban architecture in the Netherlands.
