King's Gate, 19th-century city gate museum in Kaliningrad, Russia.
Three exhibition halls within neo-Gothic walls display artifacts related to Kaliningrad's past through interactive presentations and historical collections.
Built in 1850 as part of Kaliningrad's defensive system, the gate served as a ceremonial entrance for Prussian rulers along the Royal Street.
The museum contains an exhibition about regional pharmacies from three periods: the Teutonic Order era, the duchy period, and the kingdom time.
Located at 112 Frunze Street, the museum opens Wednesday and Friday through Sunday from 11:00 to 19:00, Thursday from 12:00 to 20:00.
The bronze Prussian Cat sculpture inside the museum receives written wishes from visitors who touch its nose for good fortune.

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.
