About This File
Zierikzee was a city of importance in the middle ages. After the city was sieged for some time in the 14th century, the construction of massive defensive works was ordered. Upon completion, the city had become a stronghold not easy to conquer.
Soon after completion however, the city was taken by Albrecht of Saxony. He ordered the reconstruction of some of the gates. Out of 7 original gates, 3 still stand to this date. During the 80-year war, the defensive works played an important role in the strategy of the commanders. The city's defensive works were so impressive, they had to burn and loot the countryside first before the city would succumb. After the neighbouring town of Brouwershaven was sacked, the city was once again conquered by the spanish general Mondragon. His sword can still be seen on top of the Noordhavenpoort.
The Zuidhavenpoort was constructed in the 14th century in the Dutch city of Zierikzee. In real life, it stands next to the Noordhavenpoort. The gate functions as an entrance for traffic from both sea and land. Attached to it are small portions of the old city wall. This wall used to completely surround the city, but has now been demolished.
