Breisach's Gate, 17th-century city gate in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

The Breisach Gate stands at the intersection of Rempartstraße and Gartenstraße, featuring a triangular gable and median risalit on its third floor.

The gate, originally named Porte Saint-Martin, remained the only surviving structure from Freiburg's fortifications constructed by Vauban in 1677.

Marie Antoinette passed through this gate in 1770 during her journey to marry Louis XVI of France.

The ground floor contains a restaurant while upper levels provide seminar and lecture spaces for the University of Freiburg.

The square behind the gate incorporates a small water channel called Bächle, added during renovations in 1989.
