Chlebnicka Gate in Gdańsk, Gothic gate in Gdańsk, Poland

The Chlebnicka Gate is a Gothic structure in Gdańsk that rises three stories high with an octagonal turret at its north-eastern corner. A pointed-arch gateway at ground level serves as the central passage through what was once the city fortification.

The gate was constructed around 1450 and carries one of the earliest known coats of arms of Gdańsk on its surface. This heraldic design with two silver crosses on a red field was added in 1457 and has remained a defining symbol since.

The gate displays Late Gothic design with Flemish influences visible in its architectural details. It reflects the artistic connections between Gdańsk and Western Europe during the medieval period.

The gate is located at Chlebnicka 21 in the city center and remains clearly visible from the street for viewing. Visitors can observe the exterior facade and architectural details from the public walkway, though the building now serves as a residence.

A carved lily appears within the passageway of the gate, representing the former emblem of the Dukes of Pomerania. Visitors frequently overlook this detail despite its significance to the region's medieval past.
