Kellertor, Historical city gate at eastern waterfront in Potsdam, Germany.
The Kellertor features ten classical columns and stands at the intersection of the city canal and the former Berliner Bridge entrance point.
Built in 1788 under Friedrich II as a wooden structure, the gate served as a customs checkpoint where two grenadiers collected taxes on water-transported goods.
The architectural design draws inspiration from the music pavilion of Madame du Barry in Louveciennes, Paris, created by Claude Nicolas Ledoux.
Following a complete reconstruction in 2017, the building now functions as a residential property with public access to the adjacent riverside park.
The name Kellertor originates from Kellerstraße, which led to the royal wine cellar situated near the Holy Spirit Church in medieval Potsdam.
