Koepoort, City gate at Molenwater, Middelburg, Netherlands.
The Koepoort gate displays baroque architecture with stone ornaments, sculptural details, and stands independently at the edge of the city center.
Built in 1735 by architect Jan Pieter van Baurscheit the Younger, this gate remains the last surviving structure from Middelburg's original eight city entrances.
The gate represents the architectural excellence of the Dutch Golden Age, combining practical defense requirements with decorative baroque elements.
The structure now functions as a bed and breakfast establishment, offering visitors the chance to stay inside a national monument.
The gate incorporates different types of stone materials, including brick, Belgian bluestone, and Bentheimer sandstone for its ornamental features.
