Ostentor in Regensburg, Gothic city gate in Regensburg, Germany
The Ostentor features a five-story central tower flanked by two octagonal towers, with pointed arches opening to a gateway through a ribbed hall.
Built between 1284 and 1300, this eastern entrance formed part of Regensburg's medieval fortifications, protecting the Ostenvorstadt district through military innovations.
The gate structure includes defensive elements such as wall slots for portcullis chains and embrasures positioned on the eastern side for protection.
Located at the edge of Regensburg's Old Town, this preserved medieval gate continues to serve daily traffic, allowing both vehicles and pedestrians to pass.
The structure remains the only fully intact city gate from Regensburg's original six defensive towers, standing at its location for over 700 years.
