Vischpoort, Medieval city gate and lighthouse in Elburg, Netherlands
The Vischpoort stands as a rectangular brick structure with a plastered city-facing facade and a tooth frieze above the passage on the sea side.
Built in the late 14th century, the Vischpoort served as one of five defensive gates protecting Harderwijk, with its upper section added in the following century.
The structure now houses the Historical Society Herderewich, preserving local heritage and maintaining records of the region's maritime past.
Visitors can explore the Vischpoort during guided city walks on Wednesday and Friday afternoons throughout the year.
The gate features original door hinges that were rediscovered in Achterhoek centuries after being moved to Zutphen in 1715.
