Built in the late 16th century, its three passages once served as the main entrance to downtown Gdansk. Apart from its military function it was also a meaningful manifesto. Rich, sculpted decorative elements reach its culmination in the frieze of its western side, where coats of arms of the Polish king, the City, and the Prussian estates are displayed, as well as Latin maxims referring to values respected by the citizens. On the opposite side, the coat of arms of the Prussian King was added in the XIX century. After leveling the city walls and filling the moats, the preserved part of the gate served, since the 1920s many different, mainly tourist-related, purposes. Since 2012 the gate is the location of the Tourist Information Center of Pomorskie Region.
