Zuidhavenpoort ( South-harbour-gate ) Zierikzee

This town gate was first built in the 14th century , Many times destroyed and rebuild , change and restored , last restoration, from 1960 till 1970. In 1980 they rebuild and chance the bridge into a double drawbridge.The tower contains a carillon that was cast in 1550-1554 by Peter van den Geyn . It`s told that`s the oldest in the country
I like the composition
