Burgtor, Medieval city gate in Lübeck, Germany.
The Burgtor stands as a red brick fortification at the northern end of Lübeck's Old City, featuring typical elements of North German Gothic architecture.
Built in 1444, the Burgtor served as the inner gate of two defensive structures and replaced an earlier 14th-century fortification at the same location.
The gate forms part of Lübeck's UNESCO World Heritage site and represents the architectural achievements of the Hanseatic League trading period.
Located at Große Burgstraße 5, the Burgtor connects visitors to other notable sites including the European Hansemuseum and the Hospital of the Holy Spirit.
The structure contains preserved elements from different centuries, including medieval defensive features and modifications from subsequent historical periods.
