When was the monument originally constructed?

The defensive tower was built between 1381 and 1383 as part of the city’s second defensive wall.

How did the building survive when the rest of the city walls were demolished?

It was spared from destruction because it was serving as a prison and grain storage at the time the walls were removed.

The gate features a mix of its original medieval fortified core and 19th-century neo-Gothic additions by architect Henri Beyaert.

What kind of collections can visitors see inside the museum?

The museum focuses on military history, featuring the Royal Armoury collections, historical sculptures, and artifacts from the Burgundian Netherlands.

What happened to the building in the 19th century?

During the 1860s, it underwent a major romanticized restoration and was officially converted into a museum of antiquities.
