Koornmarktpoort, City gate in Kampen, Netherlands.
The Koornmarktpoort features a central passage with a barrel vault and two octagonal towers facing the IJssel river on its riverside facade.
Construction of this defensive structure began between 1380 and 1389, marking it as the oldest remaining city gate of medieval Kampen.
The gate represents the Gothic architectural style of the Netherlands through its pointed arches, stone details, and military fortification elements.
Located at IJsselkade 1 in Kampen, the Koornmarktpoort stands as a central reference point for exploring the historical district of the city.
The gate received its name from the wheat market that operated behind it, connecting the river trade routes with the city's commercial activities.
