Langgasser Gate

The Langgasser Tor, or "Brama Wyżynna" in Polish, is a historic city gate in Gdansk, which was built between 1612 and 1614 to a design by Abraham van den Blocke. A Gothic gate from the 13th century previously stood on this site. The architecture of the Langgass Gate is in the Flemish Mannerist style, which is reflected in the ornate details and harmonious design.

During the Second World War, the gate suffered considerable damage and was largely destroyed. After the war, it was rebuilt in 1957, preserving its historical character. The Langgasser Tor is an impressive example of Gdansk's rich architectural history.

Right next to the gate is the late Gothic seat of the Brotherhood of St George, another historic building that emphasises the cultural and religious significance of this area. The Langgass Gate itself is not only an architectural jewel, but also a symbolic gateway to Gdansk's past, transporting visitors back to a time when the city was an important trading centre. Today, the gate is part of Gdansk's rich historical heritage and a favourite destination for tourists wishing to explore the city's history and architecture.
