Lowland Gate in Gdańsk, Renaissance city gate in Gdańsk, Poland

The Lowland Gate features a brick tunnel passing through a curtain wall, with symmetrical casemates housing guard quarters on both sides.

Construction of this defensive structure began in 1626 under architect Jan Strakowski's design, with additional fortifications completed between 1711 and 1712.

The gate incorporates stone detailing against brick walls, displaying Renaissance architectural elements through strapwork patterns and foliage decorations.

Located at Grodza Kamienna 5, the gate stands at the southern entrance of Gdańsk, marking the beginning of the historic Royal Route.

The structure contains wicket gates for pedestrian access flanking the main entrance, with a single-story guardhouse positioned above the northern gateway.
