Graach Gate, Medieval city gate in Bernkastel-Kues, Germany
The Graach Gate features a Baroque passage with a mansard roof and stands as the final remaining entrance of the town walls.
Built in 1300 as a defensive structure, French troops partially destroyed the gate in 1689 during the reign of Louis XIV.
The gate displays a replica figure of Saint Michael above its passage, while the original statue resides in the Diocese of Trier museum.
The structure now functions as a local history museum, offering visitors insights into the heritage of Bernkastel-Kues through various exhibits.
Before its destruction, the gate included a tower that measured three times the height of the current building, as documented in a 1590 drawing.
