Chlebnicka Gate in Gdansk

Built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, it is the oldest of the three surviving late Gothic water gates. This is evidenced not only by its architectural form, but also by the coat of arms of Gdańsk placed above the entrance from the Motława side, originating from the Teutonic times: two crosses without a crown. On the city side, the coat of arms of the Dukes of Pomerania-Gdańsk, symbolizing a lily, was placed above the entrance.

The structure has a rectangular plan, intersected by vertical buttresses ending with two pointed arches, and the passages are finished with a stepped gable with battlements. On the Motława side, it had two octagonal turrets, of which only the northern one has survived.

The gate has remained in its original state and did not suffer during the Second World War.
