Vesterport
Faaborg, like many other towns from the Middle Ages, was walled. In order to access the town, you had to enter one of four gates. Vesterport (West Gate), built around 1470, is the only surviving gate to the town out of four. Until 1851 it was closed during the evenings and you had to pay to enter. The gate was quite unpopular with the locals, but it has survived because a building shared a wall with it and its owner protested its planned destruction. Another reason it was saved is that it stopped wind from rushing through the streets. It was restored in 1770 and 1917.
