Sassenpoort

The Sassenpoort (English: Saxon Gate) is a gatehouse in the city wall of Zwolle, the Netherlands.

It became a member of the Hanseatic League in 1407, and the city gates represent the wealth of this period.

This category contains monuments of which ownership and preservation by the state is considered of extraordinary cultural historic importance.

In 2006 TPG Post brought out a stamp in the series Mooi Nederland (beautiful Netherlands) with an image of the Sassenpoort.

It is suspected that this coat of arms, of the Ridderschap Overijssel, was located in the window of the current little kitchen.
