Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The statue of a guard in medieval suit of armour with his dog placed over the arch of the Eastern Gate, when coming from the bridge. It symbolizes a gate watcher who had to watch the gate entrance to the city. Many historical bridges have these statues ('bridge-guards') at their bridgeheads, either saints or knights or animals.


The Eastern Gate, is Brick Gothic northern European architecture, it was built around 1400. Around 1510 the towers were enhanced with an additional octagonal floor and high spires. This is the only city gate remaining in Delft; the others were demolished in the 19th century. It currently serves as an art gallery and private residence.
