A most distinctive monument, unmistakably linked to Gdańsk.
The Crane Gate was the largest harbor crane in medieval Europe, used for loading and unloading ships.
It was also used to install masts on ships. The two sturdy towers also protected the city from attacks from the harbor.
Inside, there is an active, reconstructed drive mechanism – a huge wooden wheel – which was powered by human leg strength.
