Valdická brána, City gate in Jičín, Czech Republic
The Valdická Gate stands 52.8 meters tall and features a Gothic ribbed vault passageway with a wooden gallery at 32 meters height.
The construction of this stone gate began in 1568 under Vilém Trčka z Lípy, incorporating remnants of a 14th-century tower into its structure.
The gate remains as the sole survivor among three original entrances to Jičín, representing medieval Czech defensive architecture and urban planning.
Visitors can access the exhibition room through a spiral staircase, while the former keeper's apartment now functions as the ticket office.
The current structure, designed by architect Josef Oppolzer, includes a pyramidal roof and received substantial restoration work in 1999 to preserve its masonry.
