Hampoort, 17th-century city gate in Grave, Netherlands
The Hampoort features a covered passage with vaulted ceilings and an entrance pathway incorporating two strategic bends for defensive purposes.
Built in 1688 during the reconstruction of Grave's fortifications after William III recaptured the city from French forces in 1674.
The tympanum displays the 1688 date mark and official coats of arms of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands and William III.
The gate houses the Graafs Museum and Cloveniers Guild, opening Wednesday through Friday from 12:00 to 16:30, weekends from 13:00 to 16:30.
A 50-meter tunnel runs beneath the gate structure, potentially serving as both an escape route and drainage system.
