Facts and practical information

The Koepoort in Middelburg is, of the once eight city gates present, the only one that has been preserved in its entirety. The gate, erected in late Louis XIV style, was designed by architect Jan Pieter van Baurscheidt de Jonge and city architect Jan de Munck. The gate was built in the first half of the eighteenth century and was the successor to several earlier cow gates. Whereas the earlier gates served as defenses, the new gate served primarily as an ornamental gate.
