Türkentor, Triumphal arch in Helmstedt, Germany.
The Türkentor gateway features double pilasters on each side, with intricate stone carvings showcasing both sun and crescent moon symbols on its facade.
Built in 1716, this triumphal arch marked the entrance to St. Ludger's Abbey and celebrated Prince Eugene's victory at the Battle of Petrovaradin.
The architectural elements of the arch display the Habsburg Emperor's arms on the main pediment, while side arches present the abbey's leadership symbols.
The monument stands at its current location since 1986, when it was relocated following extensive damage during World War II bombing raids.
Roman numerals indicating the construction year 1716 remain visible on the architrave, alongside representations of both Habsburg and Ottoman empires.
