Review:
The Ezelpoort, also known as the Donkey’s Gate, was built in 1297 during the development of the second ring of ramparts. In 1369 a new design was created and built by Mathias Saghen and Jan Slabbard, who also created the Smedenpoort and the Boeveriepoort. Between the 14th and 17th centuries the gate underwent several alterations. The 17th century alterations were significant, and completely changed the appearance of the Ezelpoort. Today, all that remains of the original gate is the brick gate’s lower section; the very top part of the structure was removed in the 17th century, making this once towering medieval gate much smaller.
