Kholm Gate, Military gate at Brest Fortress, Belarus
The Kholm Gate features a classical architectural design with turrets and a medallion facing the southern branch of the Mukhavets River.
Constructed in 1847 during Russian rule, this fortified gatehouse served as one of four entrances to the Citadel of Brest Fortress.
The gate received its name from the town of Chelm, connected by a direct road, reflecting the historical ties between these locations.
Modern visitors can reach the gate through guided tours of Brest Fortress, which include detailed information about the military installations.
The Kholm Gate remains one of only two surviving gates from the original fortress structure, maintaining much of its exterior despite wartime damage.
