Uenglinger Tor, Medieval city gate in Stendal, Germany

The Uenglinger Tor stands 27.5 meters tall with a quadratic tower base made of fieldstones and bricks, featuring pointed arch passages and battlemented platforms.

Built between 1450 and 1460, the gate formed part of Stendal's defense system and served as one of four entrances in the city wall.

The gate incorporates elements of North German brick Gothic architecture with decorated friezes, blind niches, and framework similar to Lübeck's Holstentor.

Visitors can climb the tower from April to September on weekends between 10:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:00 to view Stendal's old town.

The structure takes its name from the village of Uenglingen, which lay to the west, indicating the direction the gate opened toward.
