About: Waterpoort

An Entity of Type: building, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Waterpoort or Hoogendster Pijp is a water gate, a gate in a defensive wall that connects a city to a waterway. It is situated in Sneek, the Netherlands. In the 15th and 16th century, a defensive wall had been built around Sneek. The city lay on the important trade route between Leeuwarden and Stavoren, from which the rich western parts of the Netherlands (now North Holland and South Holland) could be reached. To facilitate this trade, a new harbour called the "Kolk" was built to the southwest of the city and in 1613 the Waterpoort was erected to connect city and harbour. It formed part of the city walls, but when large parts of these were demolished in the early 18th century, it was decided to leave the Waterpoort intact.

The style of the gate, now the symbol of Sneek, can be described as Manierist. It is unclear who designed it, but names suggested include those of Thomas Berentsz. and Jacob Lous. Above the gate itself, which originally would have had wooden fences, is a loggia (gallery) and above that are what were the quarters of the gatekeeper. On each side is an octagonal tower.It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 34075. (en)
  • De Sneker Waterpoort is een waterpoort over de Hoogendsterpijp in Sneek. De poort bestaat uit twee achtkantige torens, met daartussen een brug over de vaarroute tussen de De Kolk en de Stadsgracht aan het stadscentrum, en boven de brug een poortwachterswoning. Sneek had nog vier andere waterpoorten en twee landpoorten, die alle zijn gesloopt. De Waterpoort bleef over en is tegenwoordig het symbool van Sneek. Dit symbool is onder meer terug te vinden in het grootzeil van het Sneeker skûtsje Sneker Pan, en in de zeilen en kleding van de Sneeker zeilmakerij Gaastra. (nl)
