Theater Sneek was founded in 2008 in the former post office on Westersingel and is part of the Sneek cultural district. Construction of the new theater began in July 2010 on the site of the former post office. The post office was demolished for this purpose. The theater performances were relocated to the Noorderkerk church on the other side of the canal. The design of the new building was by the architectural firm Alberts en Van Huut.

Sneek Water Gate

Highlight • Monument

Anyone in Sneek cannot ignore the iconic water gate. The stone medieval gate with two octagonal towers dominates this picturesque town, which is one of the eleven cities of Friesland. Get off your bike here and stroll over the old ramparts along the picturesque canals.

The Fountain of Fortuna – 11fountains

Highlight • Monument

This fountain is located in the Sneek city center canal, just behind the famous Sneek Water Gate, "De Waterpoort."

I didn't find this fountain visually appealing at all; the colors were somehow too bright, it's hard to describe. The Sneek Water Gate definitely steals the show from the Fortuna Fountain!
