The Nauener Tor in Potsdam is a city gate that began construction in 1733 and was redesigned in 1755 by Johann Gottfried Büring in the Gothic Revival style. It is one of the three remaining city gates and is recognized as the first historicist building in continental Europe. The redesign in 1867/1868 gives the gate its current appearance.
