Zijlpoort (Haarlem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zijlpoort was a city gate in Haarlem, built in the 17th century.[1] Salomon de Bray was involved in the design. It is depicted on the painting "De Zijlpoort van Haarlem" (c. 1670) by Gerrit Berckheyde. It was named after "Het Zijl", a small stream coming from the dunes, that was later dug out to become the Brouwersgracht. The Zijlpoort was demolished in 1824.
