Koepoort, City gate in Enkhuizen, Netherlands
The Koepoort features a sandstone construction with a characteristic cupola on top, marking the boundary between Westerstraat and Westeinde streets.
Constructed in 1649 to replace a wooden structure, the gate served as the western entrance to Enkhuizen and formed part of the city fortification system.
The Stedemaagd statue, installed in 1987 on the city side of the gate, represents the identity and character of Enkhuizen through artistic expression.
The structure stands at coordinates 52.701514, 5.276935, with pedestrian access available from multiple angles for examining the architectural details.
A clockwork mechanism, added to the cupola in 1793, remains a technical feature of this Dutch National Monument complex.
