Kruispoort, Medieval city gate in Bruges, Belgium.
Two round towers flank the central rectangular structure of Kruispoort, featuring pointed archways and rib-vaulted ceilings throughout the entrance passages.
The gate, constructed between 1401 and 1406 by architects Jan van Oudenaerde and Maarten van Leuven, replaced an earlier structure destroyed during the 1382 siege.
The interior spaces of Kruispoort now house the Sint-Michielsgilde fencing association, continuing the medieval tradition of martial arts practice.
Located on Langestraat 191, the gate stands as part of the preserved city fortifications and remains accessible through local bus services.
The ground floor contains a rectangular chamber with two ribbed vaults and features a distinctive fireplace decorated with Delft tiles.
