🏰 Anderlecht Gate

The Anderlecht Gate was one of the medieval city gates of the second walls of Brussels, Belgium. Built in the 14th century and popularly known as Ter Cruyskene, it was one of the major entry points on the city's south-western side to Anderlecht. The gatehouse was repurposed as a prison and finally demolished in 1784 during the construction of the Small Ring. Two pavilion-like buildings were built on the site to collect the octroi in 1836. Although redundant since 1860, these pavilions survive and one currently houses the Sewer Museum.
