Friedland Gates, Gothic Revival gate in Kaliningrad, Russia

The Friedland Gates are a red-brick neo-Gothic gate built around 1857–1862, the last of Königsberg's city gates. The facade is divided by five buttresses into six bays, with two central passages 4.39 m wide and 4.24 m high, and casemates at the edges. A diamond pattern of darker brick covers the upper wall, which ends in a crenellated parapet topped by pointed pinnacles. All openings have pointed arches with stepped portals.

The surviving Friedland Gate was the last of Königsberg's city gates, built around 1857–1862 to a design of unknown authorship, sometimes attributed to Friedrich Stüler. In the early 20th century the military ministry sold it to the city and traffic through it ceased. After the war it stood empty, then served as a warehouse; a museum founded by Aleksandr Novik was officially established in 2002.

The museum inside displays exhibitions about the region's past through objects and documents spanning different periods of the city's development. Visitors can observe how the city changed and grew over time through these collections.

The gates are located at the intersection of Dzerzhinsky Street and Kalinina Avenue and are open to visitors from morning until evening daily. Guided tours are regularly offered to help you understand the exhibitions and architecture better.

The gate's facade once carried a statue of Grand Commander Friedrich von Zollern, lost after the war and recreated in 2008; the outer side shows Grand Master Siegfried von Feuchtwangen, remade in 2005. Both were sculpted by Wilhelm Ludwig Stürmer. A guardhouse stands outside the gate.
