The Oostpoort
A memory of my youth as I always entered the city centre of Delft through this old city gate, when I stayed at my grand parents.
It is also such an iconic landmark in Delft that I chose to make it the symbol/logo of my New Delft Blue project.
A panorama I shot last year is here.
Some wiki:
The Eastern Gate (Oostpoort) in Delft, an example of Brick Gothic northern European architecture, was built around 1400. Around 1510 the towers were enhanced with an additional octagonal floor and high spires. This is the only city gate remaining in Delft; the others were demolished in the 19th century. It currently serves as an art gallery and private residence.
