The Rostock Gate marks the western end of the old town of Ribnitz. The late Gothic city gate with its blind arch decorations from the 15th century is the only one that has been preserved. The city fortifications were transformed into parks in the 19th century.

The Rostock Gate in Ribnitz is located in the Ribnitz district of the town of Ribnitz-Damgarten and is considered one of the oldest preserved city gates in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It served to secure the town of Ribnitz to the west and is located on the bridge over the monastery moat.

The Rostock Gate, built in 1430 on the bridge over the Ribnitzer Klosterbach, was formerly intended to protect the city from attacks from the west. Ribnitz was then under the rule of Rostock. Of the once five city gates only this has been preserved. It was already in 1290 at this point. The spagothic gate with its octagonal tower is a solid structure. On the upper floor, loopholes fall in the pointed-arched dazzling rows, as well as in the tower. They indicate the defensive function of the gate. The pyramid-shaped roof ends with an eight-sided pointed brick hood.
