Pyrzycka Gate in Stargard, Gothic gate in Stargard, Poland.
The Pyrzycka Gate is a Gothic gate in Stargard built in medieval times, constructed with pointed arches and detailed brick patterns. It formed part of the city's defensive fortification and shows how medieval builders created strong entrances for protection.
The gate was built around 1300 as a main entrance to the city during its period as a Hanseatic League member. It served both as a defensive structure and a symbol of Stargard's importance in regional trade.
The gate reflects medieval brick construction methods with distinctive Gothic forms that shaped the city's identity. Walking around it, you can see how such structures were built and how they connected the city to the outside world.
The gate sits on Mieszka I street and is easily reachable from the city center. The surrounding area lets you walk around it from different angles to observe the construction details.
Stargard preserves one of Poland's longest remaining medieval city walls, which runs directly alongside the gate. This is uncommon, as most defensive walls in the region were destroyed or survive only in fragments.
