Kamperbinnenpoort, Medieval city gate in Amersfoort, Netherlands.

The Kamperbinnenpoort features two octagonal towers connected by an arch, standing between Langestraat and Kamp streets in northern Amersfoort.

Built in the second half of the 13th century, this structure served as the main northern entrance through the first city wall of Amersfoort until 1400.

The gate displays medieval defensive architecture through its mezekouw, which contains six firing holes used for pouring hot pitch onto potential attackers.

Located at Kamperbinnenpoort 1, 3811 AL Amersfoort, the monument remains accessible for viewing throughout the year without entrance fees.

The structure received protection from demolition in 1914 when the national government intervened against local plans and funded its complete restoration.
