About "De Oostpoort Delft Holland"
by Robert van Nimwegen
About the artwork
The number one tourist attraction in Delft, the famous Oostpoort. Located on the east side of the city and adjacent to the street called Oosteinde.
Tourists from all over the world like to make an extra walk from the city centre for this.
The Oostpoort is the only one of the originally eight city gates remaining from the city of Delft, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The original city gates had to be demolished in 1359 as punishment because Delft had lost a war against Duke Albrecht of Bavaria. After this, the Oostpoort, like the other city gates, was immediately rebuilt. In 1519, the Oostpoort was raised. When William of Orange came to live in Delft in 1572, the entire fortress was fortified. Around 1840, the other Delft city gates were demolished, only the Oostpoort was allowed to remain, as it was not in the way in the outskirts of the city. A small piece of rampart on the north side and a statue of a guard above the gate are reminders that the gate was once there to protect Delft.
The Oostpoort consists of a land gate and a water gate connected by remnants of a city wall, all fully restored in 1964.
In May 2022, the building is in use as the working space of a Delft photographer, but cannot be viewed inside.
The adjacent Oostpoort bridge dates from 1514 and, like the gate itself, is also a national monument.
Theme park Huis ten Bosch in Japan features a replica of the Oostpoort and the nearby drawbridge.
About Robert van Nimwegen
My motto is: I am not a talker but a picture taker.
Love to go out with a camera and gradually take beautiful pictures for different purposes.
But also on my way to work, an appointment or holiday, I see shots everywhere that work well 'on the wall', online..
