Libočanská branka, Medieval gate in Žatec, Czech Republic
The Libočanská branka gate stands 19 meters tall with a rectangular layout measuring 10 by 6 meters and features a narrow passage with a two-meter clearance.
Dendrochronological analysis shows that the oak beam used in the gate construction dates between 1257 and 1287, making its lower section older than Kněžská gate.
The gate represents one of two remaining entrances from the original medieval fortification system that established Žatec as a major fortified city in Bohemia.
Located at Branka 49 in Žatec, the structure has been converted into residential spaces since 1843 while maintaining its historical architectural elements.
The first floor contains a pointed barrel vault, while other floors feature flat ceilings, combining Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical architectural elements.
