Wycker Waterpoort, Medieval water gate in Wyck district, Maastricht, Netherlands.
The Wycker Waterpoort features a round-arched gateway constructed from coal sandstone, with tower-like structures and a defensive walkway above the opening.
Built in the 14th century as part of the Wyck city wall, the gate received its first documented mention in 1377 and underwent significant modifications in 1714.
The structure represents medieval engineering principles, demonstrating how cities controlled access points along rivers through specialized fortification designs.
Located at the intersection of Waterpoort street and the Meuse River, the gate includes information panels and stairs connecting to the water level.
During the 1890s demolition plans, local historians formed a preservation committee that successfully advocated for the gate's reconstruction and protection.
