Walkenbrückentor, Medieval city gate in Coesfeld, Germany.
The Walkenbrückentor stands as a stone gate structure with defensive features at the entrance of Berkel River into Coesfeld.
First documented in 1339, this gate remains the last survivor of six original gates that formed the medieval fortification system of Coesfeld.
The gate houses the City Museum, featuring exhibitions about Jewish life and the National Socialist period in Coesfeld's history.
Visitors can access the museum through the gate entrance, with parking facilities available at nearby Mühlenplatz square.
The structure served multiple functions throughout centuries, including as a prison, torture chamber, customs building, storage space, and residential quarters.
