Nauen Gate Potsdam
The Nauen Gate is one of the three surviving city gates of Potsdam. It was built in 1754/1755 and is considered the first building in the neo-Gothic style in continental Europe.
In 1722, about 400 meters from today's location, the first Nauen Gate was built during the so-called 1st Baroque town expansion as one of the five town gates in the town wall. In 1733, during the II. Baroque expansion of the city, a new gate was built 20 meters in front of today's square. In 1754/1755, 20 years before the actual beginning of the neo-Gothic on the continent, the architect Johann Gottfried Büring designed the Nauen Gate in Potsdam, based on a sketch by King Friedrich II. In 1867-1869 this gate was rebuilt by King Wilhelm I into its present form.

One of three striking, old city gates of Potsdam. Here is a small market regularly held, where you u.a. can get a hot meal (for example pasta). Ideal before the trip to the Dutch Quarter!

The Nauen Gate is located in the immediate vicinity of the Dutch Quarter. The gate is one of the earliest buildings on the European continent that was modeled on the English Neo-Gothic style.
