• Holstentor - The Holstentor is a globally recognized symbol of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and stands as one of the most renowned examples of North German brick Gothic architecture.

It marks the western boundary of the old town and was completed in 1478. It is one of the few remnants of Lübeck’s city fortifications and is the only surviving city gate besides the Burgtor. The structure is particularly notable for its two massive towers and the distinctive central section that houses the archway.

The gate is also famous for its slight tilt and the subsidence of the south tower, caused by the foundations on the moorish subsoil. This movement was not halted until the 1930s.
