Hlyniany Gate, Medieval defense gate in Lviv, Ukraine
The stone gate features an outer moat and wooden galleries, representing a crucial component of Lviv's historical fortification system from the 17th century.
Built in 1618 by architect Fryderyk Getkant, the gate protected Lviv from Western European armies as part of the city's extensive defense network.
The structure maintains its designation as Architectural Heritage of National Importance of Ukraine, connecting modern visitors with the medieval history of Lviv.
Recent restoration work in 2018 enhanced the wooden bridge connecting Bernardyn Dvoryk to Mytna Square, improving access for pedestrians near the gate.
The gate stands as the largest remaining fragment of Lviv's medieval fortifications, with preserved elements of its original defensive architecture.
