King's Gate in Szczecin

Poland

The King's Gate (Brama Królewska, Königstor), formerly known as the Anklam Gate (Brama Anklamska, Brama Nakielska, Anklamer Tor), and sometimes also referred to as the Prussian Homage Gate (Brama Hołdu Pruskiego), is a historic Baroque city gate in Szczecin, Poland, located at the Prussian Homage Square (Plac Hołdu Pruskiego), at the intersection of Matejki Street and Polish Soldier Square. It was constructed between 1725 and 1728, with the project being designed by Gerhard Cornelius van Wallrawe, and its elaborate façade sculptures done by Bartholomé Damart. It served as the northern entrance to the city, and was part of the fortification walls, until 1841, when they were deconstructed. Currently, it houses a confectionery store.
