Měnínská brána, Gothic city gate in Brno, Czech Republic
The Menin Gate stands as a Gothic fortification structure with multiple levels, constructed from stone blocks along the medieval walls of Brno.
Built in the 13th century as one of five original city gates, the structure moved to its current location at Měnínská 7 by the year 1293.
The building houses a toy museum displaying historical dolls, furniture, photographs, and postcards collected through several generations by curator Milada Kollárová.
The gate remains closed since January 2020 while undergoing extensive reconstruction work, with renovation permits approved in summer 2024.
Four generations of the Navrátilová family operated a cheese production facility within the gate until artillery damage occurred in 1945.
