Dijkpoort

The Dijkpoort is a 14th-century citygate in Hattem, the Netherlands. In 1908, the gate was restored so that you can house the archives of Hattem underneath the route of the metropolis archivist F.A. Hoefer. Frederic Adolph Hoefer became a Dutch lieutenant-widespread, militaria collector and archivist. He educated at the Koninklijke Militaire Academie and is outstanding for founding the Legermuseum and restoring Doorwerth Castle. It is the best closing city gate of Hattem, and it changed into refurbished and partly reconstructed with the aid of the architect Pierre Cuypers.

A wall stroll and nook turrets have been brought which might be recognizable via the special hues of the stones. Outside of the city beyond this gate, every other "front gate" changed into formerly positioned with two round towers. A small piece of town wall continues to be standing that connected the two, wherein taking pictures holes for cannon and arquebus can be seen. The arquebus, derived from the German Hakenbuchse, was a form of long gun that seemed in Europe for the duration of the 15th century.
