The Oostpoort is the only remaining city gate in the city of Delft, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The gate was built around 1400, the towers were raised in the 16th century.
The Oostpoort consists of a land gate and a water gate, which are connected by the remains of a city wall.
Nowadays the building is in use as a residence and art gallery.
The adjacent Oostpoort bridge dates from 1514 and is, like the gate itself, also a national monument.
A replica of the Oostpoort and the adjacent drawbridge can be found in theme park Huis ten Bosch in Japan.
