The Holstentor in Lübeck, Germany, is one of the most iconic medieval city gates in Europe. Constructed in 1464, it is part of the old fortifications of Lübeck and is renowned for its distinctive twin round towers and arched entrance. The gate is a prime example of Brick Gothic architecture, characterized by its robust and decorative brick construction. Over the centuries, the Holstentor has become a symbol of Lübeck's historical significance as a major trading hub in the Hanseatic League.
