Lille Gate

Of all the city gates only the original rooms of the Lille Gate were preserved.

The gate was renovated several times. Vauban had the towers lowered and the moat widened. The Burgundian towers stand next to the bridge, the 14th century lock room and Gatekeeper's house. The elegant arched bridge was already built at the end of the 19th century.

There is a small military cemetery above the Lille Gate, Ramparts Cemetery.
