Water Gate

Water Gate

Information:

It was built in the early 14th century; in the past it was closed with a portcullis (the present replica serves only as decoration). It was consumed by fire in 1659 and 1945, rebuilt from scratch after the war. Built into the city walls, it offered access to the city and castle from the Port Square (Błonia Nadwiślańskie). As a result of the postwar reconstruction, its facade was changed from the direction of the city; that’s why it lost its Gothic character.
