Meuse Gate
A narrow passage through a building which allows for access from the city centre to the river Meuse.
Castle's Gate
The last remnant of the Ravenstein Castle, which was demolished in 1818. The gate has been incorporated into a house, with the road passing straight through the building.
These two ramparts resurfaced in 1997, and were part of the city's 16th century defence works. They have been restored in form, and each adorned with a cannon cast in Liège. Several times per year, these are used for salutes.
Stadswandeling
The historical centre of Ravenstein is filled with monument-listed buildings that encapsulate the city's past. Every second Sunday of the month, the local Historical Society organises guided walking tours around the city, taking an hour and a half, visiting many of its key sights. These tours start from the Toeristisch Informatiepunt at 14:00.
