The Holsten Gate, a medieval city gate dating back to 1464, stands as a striking landmark at the border of Old Town in Lübeck, Germany. Known for its two imposing iron-clad turrets, the gate, also referred to as the Crooked Gate due to its seemingly sunken south tower, is a testament to the city’s rich history. Today, visitors can explore a museum housed within the gate, which offers insights into Lübeck’s medieval past, providing a tangible connection to the region’s heritage.
