The Longe-Porte still has its 17th century guardhouse intact. The barbican of the “Longe-Porte” gate, projecting from the ramparts, allowed for increased control of access to the town of Langres.

The Longe-Porte Gate is a monumental gate which dates back to the first century BC, when it was part of a Gallo-Roman arch. It was then integrated into the city walls and modified several times over the centuries. You can admire its architecture and learn its history thanks to the information panels on site.

Until the mid-19th century, the remains of a Gallo-Roman arch, which marked the northern city limit, were still visible. After being integrated into the fortifications at the end of the 3rd century and becoming a city gate, this structure owes its name either to its length or to a legendary king named Longo, whose effigy was mounted on a corbel overlooking the city. Around 1538, a barbican was built in front of the gate to prevent a frontal assault.
