Description

The Prison Gate is a gate tower of the Dutch town of Megen, built in the 14th century. The tower was part of the Megen wall, of which the tower is the only remnant, and served as part of an entrance gate and prison. On the other side of the street there was also a tower that together marked the eastern entrance to Megen. The access road from Dieden and Deursen led past the tower. In addition to this gateway, Megen had three other entrance gates. The tower is square and contains a gable roof, with a stepped gable on two sides. There are loopholes and traces of a mezekouw.
