Steintor, Renaissance city gate in Rostock, Germany.
The Steintor features contrasting architectural elements, with a plain exterior facade and an ornate interior side decorated with city seals and symbols.
Built between 1574 and 1577 on the foundation of a Gothic gate, the structure underwent reconstruction from 1950 to 1956 following World War II damage.
The gate displays a Latin inscription promoting harmony and prosperity, alongside the coat of arms of Rostock, representing municipal values and identity.
Located at Steinstraße in central Rostock, the gate serves as a reference point for visitors exploring the medieval section of the city.
The structure incorporates Dutch Renaissance architectural elements, making it distinct among the remaining gates of Rostock's former fortification system.
