Water gate

The Sneker Waterpoort is a water gate over the Hoogendster pipe in Sneek. The gate consists of two octagonal towers, with a bridge in between over the shipping route between the De Kolk and the Stadsgracht in the city center, and above the bridge a gatekeeper's house. Sneek had four other water gates and two land gates, all of which have been demolished. The Waterpoort remained and is today the symbol of Sneek.
