==== Civic architecture ==== The Drogenaps tower was built between 1444 and 1446 as a city gate. In 1465 the entrance was bricked up, after which it became known as a tower instead of a gate. City musician [[Tonis Drogenap]] lived there around 1555, and the tower's current name is derived from him. From 1888 to 1927, the tower was used as a [[water tower]]. The Wijnhuis (Winery) Tower was built between 1618 and 1642 by the city master builder Emond Hellenraet, influenced by [[Hendrick de Keyser]]. In 1644 the brothers [[Pieter and François Hemony]] made the world's first correctly tuned [[carillon]] for this tower. During the summer months, carillon concerts are regularly held. The Bourgonje tower was a [[Turret (architecture)|defensive turret]] built in 1457. It was built during the [[Guelders Wars|Gelderland-Burgundian war]]. In this tower, the Dutch theologian and philosopher {{ill|Johannes Florentius Martinet|nl}} wrote his ''Katechismus der Natuur'' (Catechism of Nature). The Berkel gate is part of the city wall on the east side of the medieval city. This gate over the [[Berkel|river Berkel]] connected the old and new cities. It was built in 1320. It also had a western counterpart, but that gate was demolished in 1772.
