Cow Gate
Gdańsk, Poland
The name of this 14th-century water gate derives directly from the cattle market that took place nearby.
One of Gdańsk's historic water gates, built in the 14th century as part of the medieval city fortifications. Situated on the Motława River, it connected the city with the areas across the river, where pastures and a market were located. It is characterized by simple, Gothic brick architecture, typical of the fortifications of that era. The gate's name derives from the cattle market that took place nearby for centuries. It is an important testament to Gdańsk's former defensive architecture.
