Brandenburg Gate, Medieval city gate in Kaliningrad, Russia.
The Brandenburg Gate features two pointed passageways through thick brick walls, decorated with stone reliefs and stylized leaf patterns at its top.
Built in 1657 as a wooden structure, the gate was later reconstructed in brick under King Frederick II of Prussia's orders at the intersection near Brandenburg Castle.
The gate includes sculptures of Field Marshal Hermann von Boyen and Lieutenant-General Ernst von Aster, representing military figures from Prussian history.
Located on Bagration Street, this gate remains active for vehicle traffic and stands approximately 500 meters from the Southern Railway Station.
The structure houses the Marzipan Museum, where visitors can learn about the regional confection production and view miniature landmarks made from marzipan.

Kaliningrad is notable for the coexistence of its German and Russian heritage, resulting from a history that has shaped its current identity. The city hosts the 14th-century Kaliningrad Cathedral, a brick Gothic building now serving as a museum and organ concert venue. Prussian fortifications reflect the military past of the former Königsberg, such as the Bunker Museum, which recounts World War II events, and the historic Brandenburg and King’s Gates, which once marked the city entrances. The Kaliningrad region is known for its Baltic amber deposits, displayed at the Amber Museum housed in a 19th-century tower. The Ocean Museum exhibits research ships and maritime exploration collections. 98 kilometers from the city, the Curonian Spit extends between the Baltic Sea and the lagoon, forming a strip of sand covered with pine forests and dunes. The old Königsberg Exchange and the Church of the Holy Family complete a route mixing architectural and natural discoveries.
