Gate building of the Pszczyna Palace, Renaissance gate building in Pszczyna, Poland.

The gate building presents an L-shaped layout with a corner tower topped by a conical roof at the entrance of Pszczyna Palace grounds.

Balthasar von Promnitz ordered the construction of this Renaissance gate building in 1687, as evidenced by the relief chronogram above the entrance.

The gate derives its name from the guards specifically selected by the Prince to protect both the castle and the surrounding town.

The monument maintains its original architectural features and serves as the main access point to explore the Pszczyna Palace complex.

Two stone statues of pardoned brigands, Eliasz and Pistulka, stand at permanent guard positions near the castle entrance.
