Nobelpoort, Medieval city gate in Zierikzee, Netherlands.
The Nobelpoort rises 35 meters high with thick stone walls, featuring defensive towers and an arched passage with substantial oak doors.
Following the Flemish siege of 1304, this northern gate was constructed in the first quarter of the 14th century using Tournai stone and Flemish masonry.
The gate's name potentially derives from Ghise Nobelsone, a resident from the 1300s, or from tales about two ladies named Anna and Maria.
The structure stands at Korte Nobelstraat 41 in Zierikzee and underwent major restoration work between 1973 and 1979 to preserve its integrity.
The gate retains visible remnants of its original portcullis mechanism, which functioned as a rapid-deployment defensive barrier during medieval times.
