Rijselpoort und Majoorgracht Description
The Rijselstraat ends at the Rijselpoort (Lilletor), a massive fortified gate, from the Burgundian period. The British general staff had its headquarters in the casemates for a while. Near the gate ruins of the old ramparts can still be seen. A walk along the Majoorgracht with the "Halve Man" offers charming views. Boats can be hired from the "Eilandje".

Not far from the gate inside the fortifications the "Houten Huis" has been restored, a 16th C. wooden house, one of about 90.
