Zierikzee old harbor




watercolor, acrylic and pen on paper 400 gr

Zierikzee preserves three of its old town gates, relics of its former fortifications. The Noordhavenpoort (by Bloemaert, 1559) has a very handsome facade. The Zuidhavenpoort is a square gate-tower with corner turrets (14th C.), designed to protect the harbor as well as the entrance to the town. On the north side of the town is the oldest of the town's gates, the Nobelpoort, with twin towers topped by tall steeples.
