NL Vroeger had je in Nederland voor post die in dezelfde stad werd verstuurd ook stads-postzegels. Op deze van de stad Zwolle uit 1983 is de Sassenpoort afgebeeld vanuit de zuidzijde. De postzegel had een waarde van 35 cent.

Van bron
Rond de 14e en 15e eeuw is een stadsmuur om het hele centrum van Zwolle gebouwd, in die tijd waren er 23 torens opgenomen in de muur, waarvan er nu slechts 3 over zijn gebleven.

Op verscheidene plaatsen zijn poorten in de stadsmuur aangebracht. In totaal waren dit er 8, waarvan alleen de Sassenpoort in zijn geheel bewaard is gebleven. De zes eeuwen oude Middeleeuwse Sassenpoort is in het eind van de 14e en begin 15e eeuw gebouwd ter verdediging van de stad. De poort had een plek in de stadsmuur die het centrum van Zwolle in de 15e eeuw omringde.

De Sassenpoort behoort tot de Top 100 van Nederlandse monumenten.De Sassenpoort is vier dagen per week geopend voor bezoek. Neem een kijkje op de website van de Sassenpoort voor de openingstijden.
ENG In the past, you also had city stamps for mail sent in the same city in the Netherlands. On this one from the city of Zwolle from 1983, the Sassenpoort is depicted from the south side. The stamp had a value of 35 cents.

From source
Around the 14th and 15th century a city wall was built around the entire center of Zwolle, at that time 23 towers were included in the wall, of which only 3 are now left.

Gates have been built into the city wall in several places. In total there were 8, of which only the Sassenpoort has been preserved in its entirety. The six centuries old medieval Sassenpoort was built in the late 14th and early 15th centuries to defend the city. The gate had a place in the city wall that surrounded the center of Zwolle in the 15th century.

The Sassenpoort is one of the Top 100 of Dutch monuments. The Sassenpoort is open for visitors four days a week. Take a look at the Sassenpoort website for opening times.
