Holbein Gate, Gothic gateway in Whitehall, London, England

The Holbein Gate featured three stories with octagonal turrets at each corner, connected by a central archway for vehicles and a smaller passage for pedestrians.

King Henry VIII ordered the construction of this gate between 1531 and 1532 to connect the eastern and western sections of the Palace of Whitehall.

The gate displayed royal emblems, carved panels, and decorative elements including a chequerboard pattern of flint and stone across its primary facades.

The structure contained residential chambers and offices, with the upper floor serving as the Paper Office from 1672 until its demolition in 1759.

The upper room of the gate reportedly hosted the secret wedding ceremony between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn on January 25, 1533.
