These outside gates are made of iron and are somewhat decorative in design.  The tops are spiked and there's a family crest that hangs on both the left and right gate telling people who resides here.

royal family
I am the daughter of the King and Queen. I am known as the princess of the village. I will be married off to a prince from another village very soon. A peace treaty will closely follow the wedding.
I believe you mean My Lady? oh ahh - sincerest apologies my lady. You know how hard it can be to tell with the fashions the young noblemen wear these days. Tell me about these family crests: What do the symbols mean? These are the family crests of my master, lord Albrecht Von Poppenhippie. He's a great man and a devout follower of the witch god Chenzaborg. Ah, yes, a poppy flower, being held by a man with long hair, I can see Poppenhippie.  Quite so! The current Lord Poppenhippie doesn't have long hair, of course, preferring the spiked mohawk of his patron god. I'm told his ancestors wore their hair long though I am to be married to Albrecht.  Is he a kindly man? hmmm. Well no, not in a traditional sense. He is a follower of Chenzoborg, which means he enjoys a good bit human sacrifice and torture. In fact he flayed my whole family alive!  I am so sorry to hear that!  I fear this marriage, but we must play our parts, if we want peace. Don't be sorry! During the dark ritual in which my family perished my soul was also consumed by Chenzoborg and now I myself am a devout follower. I'm sure you will be too, eventually. Tell me more of Chenzoborg He is the one of the ever penetrating stare, the ever watching eyes and the endless devouring hunger. Soon Chenzoborg through his cult of devout followers will consume the entire world and the dark prince will be reborn, harkening and age of endless agony and death. Of course I'm just a humble servant and will surely not play anywhere near a great role in this as you, m'lady.
