Walking on the
Broederweg to the
Broederpoort: one of the three remaining city gates in Kampen. Built in 1465 the structure used to be part of an earth wall that was meant to defend the city.
In 1950 the Broederpoort was set up as a city museum, which lasted until 1983 when the museum moved to another spot. Then from 1983 to 1987 it was a scientific medical centre. Nowadays the gate is being used for exhibitions and as a romantic wedding location.
Great gate. Interestingly you showed it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwhat a lovely building
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWonderful as this gate is preserved. And there is now life. There is certainly a romantic wedding.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat is beautiful... and rare to see here. I imagine the old city of Quebec might have gate features.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI can see why people would want to get married here. It looks really romantic.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is quite impressive. In 1645 it was probably even more impressive!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIn another age, those certainly would have been formidable walls.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is lovely! I'm glad it is being used, especially for weddings.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA building with horns... astonishing!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNederland heeft toch heel veel mooie stadjes. We kwamen er een keer toevallig langs en heb mijn ogen uitgekeken.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWat ziet het er robuust uit! Heel mooi en sterk. En oud.
