Weerdpoort, City gate in Utrecht, Netherlands

The Weerdpoort features a main portal with two round towers connected by a high wall at the northern entrance of Utrecht.

Built around 1500, the Weerdpoort served as one of four main gates controlling access to Utrecht through its medieval fortification system.

The gate structure represents medieval Dutch engineering, marking the boundary between Utrecht's center and the suburb of Bemuurde Weerd.

Visitors can observe the remaining tower foundations and examine the historical cellar through a dedicated viewing tube at street level.

The gate stood at the convergence point of three waterways: the Oudegracht canal, the Stadsbuitengracht, and the Utrechtse Vecht river.
