Hiking
This gate (1489), with gabled roofs and stepped gables, is in fact an old lock under which the Lieve, which runs partly underground, disappears. The two massive round towers with the cone at the top are typical of 15th century military architecture. In 1448 Maximilian of Austria took advantage of a weak spot in the city defenses to take Ghent. Later, the central building was reinforced with two towers.
