Dijkpoort, Medieval city gate in Hattem, Netherlands.

The Dijkpoort features a central tower with additional corner turrets, constructed using stones of different colors to mark architectural periods.

Built in the 14th century, the gate underwent restoration in 1908 under architect Pierre Cuypers, who added defensive elements and wall walks.

The structure now serves as a creative center with an artist studio, meeting spaces, and exhibition areas across multiple floors.

The gate allows passage for pedestrians and cyclists, while vehicles are restricted to protect the historical structure from damage.

From the gate's attic floor, visitors can observe the entire town of Hattem and examine architectural details not visible from ground level.
