The Rasphuis Gate - Amsterdam

Posted 1 year ago by avatar claire in response to avatar felicity8's question: What else did De Keyser built besides the churches and the towers? (give a different answer) .

Besides the directional churches and the Mint Tower, also attributed to Keyser is the Rasphuis Gate. Halfway along Heiligeweg, on the southern side it once gave access to the Rasphuis, a model penitentiary where beggars and delinquents were put to work to ease their return to society.
