This late-gothic building, erected in 1352 (other sources mention the years 1466-78), is the only one of the three gates that led to the town at that time. Two other gates, Dobromiejska and Młyńska, unfortunately, have not survived to our times, the aforementioned High Gate has also survived only in a fragmentary form because it is exactly a foregate. There used to be a barbican at the foregate, which was removed in 1868, and despite the fact that the gate did not survive in its original shape, it still pretends to be the most monumental building of this type in Warmia and Masuria, representing the Gothic style. It is classified as a first-class monument for a reason.

It was built of red brick, it is four-storey, there are two semicircular towers on the sides, they are connected by the main gate body with the central part of the ground floor, i.e. the pointed passage.

The gate had various functions, incl. it was a modern bastion adapted to artillery fights at that time. This is evidenced by the year 1520, when during the siege it was a place of sharp fire exchange. It was in memory of these events that stone spheres were built into the walls in various places. In 1850, the upper part was rebuilt, and in 1868 the whole was taken over by the state authorities, including a court arrest, which functioned until the end of World War I. It is from this period that the characteristic blinds, i.e. bricked up windows, come from. It is a pity that this building, which is comparable to other objects of this type in Poland, is devoid of sightseeing. Its charms can only be admired from the outside.

The High Gate in Lidzbark Warmiński is an element of the city that every resident and visitor should get to know. Preserved as the only one of the three gates leading to the city, it served many functions over the years. There are also embedded spheres in its walls, which remind us of the fire outbreaks of 1520.
