Terespol Gate, Military entrance gate at Brest Fortress, Belarus.
The Terespol Gate stands as a three-storied red brick entrance with defensive turrets, forming part of the Brest Fortress western perimeter near the Bug River.
German forces entered through this gate on June 22, 1941, initiating an eight-day battle that demonstrated the determination of Soviet defenders at Brest Fortress.
The gate represents a fundamental element of the Brest Fortress memorial complex, which commemorates the resistance against Nazi invasion in 1941.
Visitors can access the gate daily through guided tours of Brest Fortress, with informational panels explaining its military architecture and wartime role.
Two large water tanks inside the gate structure supplied the entire citadel, integrating defensive capabilities with essential infrastructure functions.
