Yürüyüş

The Gevangenpoort in the fortified town of Woudrichem is the only remaining water gate as part of the fortifications. The gate dates from after 1573, the year in which the city burned. It belongs to the ramparts built in 1580. In the Middle Ages Woudrichem had a wall, in which there were 5 city gates. There is a cantilevered bay tower on the northeast corner.
The building is now used as a restaurant. In the 19th century, however, the chambers in the gate served as a prison.

The Gevangenpoort in the fortified city of Woudrichem is one of the remaining gates from the 15th century. The Gevangenenpoort dates from after 1573, the year in which the city was on fire. It is part of the ramparts built in 1580. In the Middle Ages, Woudrichem was walled in which there were five city gates.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, the building was used as a detention center. Some prisoners have their names carved into a wall as a memento.

THE water gate is still used during high water. Beams are slid into the concrete grooves and the space between them is filled with sand. This cofferdam holds back the wild water and protects the fortified town.
