Sailors Gate in Toruń, Gothic gate in Toruń, Poland

The Sailors Gate features red brick construction with pointed arches and stands as part of the medieval fortification system in Toruń.

Built in the mid-14th century, the Sailors Gate served as the primary entrance point for Polish kings and dignitaries entering Toruń.

The gate earned its name from the maritime trade activities, marking the path between the Vistula River and Saint John Cathedral.

The gate connects directly to the main walking path leading toward the Old Town Square and remains accessible throughout the year.

During royal ceremonies, city mayors presented symbolic keys to visiting monarchs at this specific gate while the Tuba Dei bell rang.
