Pothuis Waterstraat 2

The pothuis at Waterstraat 2 is a remarkable medieval architectural element that has been preserved exceptionally well in Zaltbommel. A pothuus is a vaulted passage or gate that formed part of a dwelling or city wall, and regulated traffic through the city. During the Hanseatic period, pothuizen were a characteristic component of the urban fabric. The pothuus at Waterstraat offers a unique glimpse into the medieval urban structure of Zaltbommel.
