    The gate is part of the former city fortifications. The remaining city wall was demolished in the 1920s. The gate connected the train station with the city center.

      The Saint Paul Gate was built into the city walls in the 19th century and consists of two arches (entrance/exit), each arch having a drawbridge. It connected the Verdun station, where the conscripts came from, to the city centre and in particular to the Jeanne d'Arc barracks. In the 1920s, the destruction of the city walls, already weakened by the bombardments, was completed.
      Only the Saint Paul Gate was spared and was embellished with commemorative columns in honour of the victory of Verdun and the reconstruction of the city.

          The two arches are still there, formerly inlet and outlet, each of which had a drawbridge.
