Built in 1444, the Burgtor is a striking example of Brick Gothic architecture and served as the northern city gate of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. As part of Lübeck's fortifications and a cultural heritage monument in Germany, it stands as one of the few remaining towered gates of the medieval city defenses. Its physical height of 32 meters makes it a prominent landmark.
