The name of the House of Plague comes from the chapel of the Gatehouse, in which quarantine rooms for people suffering from the plague, which hit Gdańsk in 1709, were created. The name of the Plague Chapel also stuck to the chapel itself.

Today's House of Plague was formerly known as the Gatehouse or the Great Gate. Built around the 14th century, it was considered a gothic pearl and was the main entrance gate leading into the chain of defensive walls that surrounded the Cistercian abbey located here. The two-story building housed the seat of the monastic mayor and the chapel of St. Bernard. The gate also had a representative function - eminent guests, including Polish kings, used it to enter the abbey.
