Green Gate

The Green Gate in Gdańsk marks the eastern end of the Long Market and shapes the cityscape between the square and the Motława River. Built between 1564 and 1568 in the Flemish Mannerist style, this magnificent structure replaced an older gate known as the Koggentor. Originally conceived as a residence for Polish kings, it later served a variety of purposes before being rebuilt after World War II. Today, the building houses a branch of the National Museum, where exhibitions and cultural events are held regularly. Here you can experience not only the historic architecture, with its four passageways, but also the building's lively use as a venue for conferences and public gatherings.
