Koppelpoort

Utrecht Province


This 1425 gateway guards the northwest entrance of what was once the city wall. It was given a Pierre Cuypers Gothic-revival restoration in the 1880s and remains Amersfoort's most romantically photogenic structure.

Directly northwest of here is a regeneration area of new restaurants, a culture centre and attractive moored boats, some used as restaurants and party venues.
