Convent Gate, Gothic gate in Old Town Toruń, Poland.
The Convent Gate features substantial brick walls, pointed arches, and defensive elements characteristic of medieval fortification architecture.
Built in the first half of the 14th century, the gate underwent modifications around 1420 to adapt to the increasing use of firearms in warfare.
The gate received its name from the adjacent Benedictine Sisters' Convent, which operated a hospital and the Holy Spirit Church until the 17th century.
Located at 2a Holy Spirit Street in the southern part of the Old Town Complex, the gate stands east of the Leaning Tower.
An underground air-raid shelter constructed in 1943 beneath the gate provided protection for 100 people and remains accessible to visitors today.
