Fortress Willemstad : Water Gate, before 1917.
Field side of the Water Gate with the gate barrier on the dam in the fortress moat. In 1872 the original gate building was replaced by a simple passage with profile walls. Today only half of the gate extists, as the wall between the passage and the Harbor (left) has been demolished.
