The Monnikendam
The gateway is made up of two round wall towers, which are connected by a bow. The water passage under the bow could bes hut by a gate. In the watergate, a restaurant has been established, in an extension built by the architect B. Dillen. The roof of the extension has been made into part of the plantation.
