Did you know that the famous Waterpoort is the only remaining watergate in Sneek?

Back in the old days there were 5 watergates to protect the entrance to the city, but 4 of them were demolished in the 19th century because steamboats didn’t fit through the gates.

This remaining watergate, dating back to 1613, is the symbol of Sneek.
