The Koppelpoort is a stunning medieval water gate and bridge that once served as part of Amersfoort's city fortifications. Built in the 15th century, it spans the river Eem, combining a land gate and a water gate in one structure. Visitors can walk through the gate, admire the massive wooden doors and portcullis, and see the intricate brickwork. The gate is beautifully illuminated at night, making it a favorite photo spot. It's a must-see for history buffs and anyone interested in medieval engineering.
