Hanseatic gates and towers

The Sassenpoort, built around 1409, is the main surviving gate from the medieval city wall. Nearby, the Peperbus rises above the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk; its copper dome gave the tower its nickname. Both landmarks make an easy route through the historic centre.

At Museum de Fundatie, a contemporary oval volume sits atop a former courthouse. The contrast between the modern roof and the old neoclassical base makes the museum itself part of the cityscape.
