Sabelspoort, Medieval city gate in Arnhem, Netherlands
The Sabelspoort consists of a square gate building with two round towers made of stone and features a classical facade from 1642.
First mentioned in 1357, this structure formed part of the city fortifications and later served as a prison for both criminals and mentally ill individuals.
The name Sabelspoort derives from the old Dutch word 'savel', meaning sand, referring to a nearby sandbank in the river Rhine.
The gate stands at Markt 12 in Arnhem and now functions as part of the Provincial House of Gelderland administrative complex.
Among the four original city gates of Arnhem, the Sabelspoort remains the only surviving gate structure visible in the present day.
