Breda - Spanjaardsgat

In Breda's Cingelstraat is the Spanjaardsgat, a water-gate flanked by two towers (to the left the Granaattoren, to the right the Duiventoren) and a length of wall. Here, according to the legend, Adriaan van Bergen and 70 men slipped into the town in a peat boat and took it by surprise. Since the Spanjaardsgat was not built until 1610, however, the actual point of entry must have been on the north side of the castle.
