Mølleporten, Medieval city gate in Stege, Denmark.
Mølleporten is a medieval city gate in Stege built from layered brick and stone fitted together in a sturdy arch. The preserved structure shows how defensive gateways were once constructed, with its tunnel-like passage remaining intact.
The gate was built in the 1430s as part of Stege's defensive system, one of three gateways protecting the town. It survived wars and remains one of only two medieval city gates still standing in Denmark.
This gate marked where the medieval town ended and the countryside began, serving as a symbol of urban identity. Visitors crossing it today enter a different world, marked by narrow streets and old buildings that feel separated from modern Stege.
The gate sits right at the entrance to the old town along Storegade and is accessible on foot at any time. The medieval structure has a narrow passage and low clearance, so visitors with mobility challenges should be prepared for tight spaces.
The gate was slightly relocated in the 1900s to make room for the modern street, yet its original form was preserved rather than demolished. This compromise allowed the medieval structure to survive in a changing town.
