Stargarder Tor

The Stargarder Tor is a city gate in Neubrandenburg featuring a double gate complex built entirely of red brick in Gothic style. The structure displays typical medieval defensive features such as thick walls and an inner courtyard between the two gate openings.

The gate was built as part of the medieval fortification system protecting Neubrandenburg and served as one of four main entrances. Over the centuries it survived while other gates disappeared, becoming a rare remainder of the complete defensive network that once surrounded the city.

The gate takes its name from the nearby town of Stargard and shapes the appearance of the city entrance to this day. Visitors notice how the structure marks the medieval city boundary and organizes passage just as it did centuries ago.

The gate can be visited year-round without entrance fees and is easily accessible from outside. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an open monument best explored during daylight hours to fully appreciate its architectural details and stonework.

The gate is part of a complete fortification system that still includes 2.4 km of city walls, with large sections accessible on foot. This rarity makes Neubrandenburg one of the few German cities with an almost intact medieval wall circuit.
