The Sneeker Waterpoort is a water gate over the Hoogendsterpijp in Sneek. The gate consists of two octagonal towers, with in between a bridge over the shipping route between the De Kolk and the Stadsgracht at the city centre, and a gatekeeper's house above the bridge. Sneek had four other water gates and two land gates, all of which were demolished. The Watergate remained and is now the symbol of Sneek. This symbol can be found in the mainsail of the Sneeker skûtsje Sneker Pan, and in the sails and clothing of the Sneeker sailmaker Gaastra.
