The Gevangenpoort in the fortified town of Woudrichem is the only remaining water gate as part of the fortifications. The gate dates from after 1573, the year in which the town was on fire. It belongs to the rampart built in 1580. In the Middle Ages, Woudrichem had a wall with 5 city gates. On the northeast corner, there is a cantilevered bay tower.
The building is currently used as a restaurant. However, in the 19th century, the rooms in the gate served as a prison.
