Utrechtse Poort, Military gate in Naarden, Netherlands
The Utrechtse Poort features stone archways with profile walls, a guardhouse, and two flanking towers containing firing positions for defense purposes.
Built in 1877 by architect Jacobus van Lokhorst, this gate replaced an older structure from 1680 and served as part of the defensive fortifications.
The structure contains four cannon cellars, wooden sheds, and a ravelin, representing the military engineering techniques of nineteenth-century Dutch fortification systems.
The passage through Utrechtse Poort is now reserved exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting the inner fortress area with the outer surroundings.
From 1881 to 1939, steam tram tracks ran through the gate's archway, connecting Amsterdam to the Gooi region with a service known as Gooise Moordenaar.
