Rogatki Wolskie, Classical toll gate buildings in Warsaw, Poland

The Wolskie Gates consisted of two symmetrical pavilions located on Wolska Street, at the intersection with Chlodna, Towarowa, and Okopowa streets.

Architect Jakub Kubicki designed these classicist structures, which replaced wooden buildings in 1818 and served as entry control points for Warsaw until 1942.

In November 1830, Frederic Chopin departed Poland through these gates, accompanied by students and professors from the Warsaw Conservatory performing a farewell cantata.

The buildings functioned as tax collection points where officials charged fees for entering Warsaw and transporting cattle through the city gates.

The gates marked one of ten entry points along the earthen rampart that encircled Warsaw after 1770, controlling access to the capital.
