Gistpoort (1509-1512), also known as the Blauwpoort (blue gate) from the color of the stone it faces. On the facade can be seen a statue of Count William II, who expanded the abbey in 1255-1256.
poort = gate
In the 16th century, people were afraid of each other. They were walking around with swords. This building is very old (the sculptures
tell me that) but has many big windows close to the ground - unusual!
