dutchmadebricks Posted March 11, 2023 Constructed: 1633 Demolished: 1864 The Rijnsburgerpoort was a gate in the fortifications of the city of Leiden, Netherlands. It was one of the many gates that surrounded the city and served as a point of entry and exit, as well as a means of controlling access. The gate was located at the end of the current Steenstraat. Just after completing the new train station in 1842, traffic became increasingly intensive. The gate became more and more of an obstacle and finally it was demolished in 1864.

peedeejay Posted March 12, 2023 Quite a unique building. Especially next to what we usually see in category "Town". :) It's very well build and love the attention to detail, especially around the arch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
