Vischpoort, City gate and lighthouse in Harderwijk, Netherlands.
The Vischpoort features a rectangular structure with a central passageway, topped by a white lighthouse tower and flanked by small residential cottages.
Built in the late 14th century as Lage Bruggepoort, this fortification served as one of two seaside gates protecting Harderwijk from maritime threats.
The gate's name, which translates to Fish Gate, reflects the maritime trading heritage of Harderwijk when it was an active Zuiderzee port.
Visitors can explore the interior of the structure, which houses the Herderewich historical society and exhibits about local maritime history.
The lighthouse mounted on top of the gate in 1851 remained operational until 1947 and now illuminates only during special events.
