Brama Wyżynna (High Gate)
Highlight • Monument
The High Gate served as the city's main gate. It is decorated with allegorical figures from 1648, created by Peter Ringering and bearing the inscription "Peace, Freedom, Unity". Above the arches, the coats of arms of Gdansk, Poland and Prussia decorate the gate.
The Royal Route began with the High Gate, which leads directly to the Golden Gate (Złota Brama), which was built by Abraham van den Block in 1612 - 1614. "May those who love you prosper. May there be peace within your walls and happiness in your palaces" is the inscription.
