Broederpoort, Medieval city gate in Kampen, Netherlands.

The Broederpoort features four slender corner towers with pointed spires and a rectangular structure topped by a high gabled roof.

Built between 1465 and 1468, the gate underwent multiple renovations in 1615, 1714, and received extensive restoration work from 1938 to 1942.

The gate bears a keystone dated 1784 on its land-facing archway, demonstrating the architectural modifications made throughout different periods.

Located at Broederweg 36 in Kampen, the gate serves as an entrance point between the city center and the adjacent park area.

The gate originally stood at the Burgel canal before being moved to its current location in 1465, where it protected the city with earthen walls.
