The Koppelpoort is a medieval gate in Amersfoort, Netherlands, completed around 1425 as part of the city's second wall, erected between 1380 and 1450. A distinctive hybrid structure, it combines both land and water gates in a single monument, reflecting the strategic importance of controlling access to the city by road and waterway alike. Designated a Rijksmonument, it stands as a rare surviving example of dual-function medieval fortification architecture.
