Lübeck - Holsten gate
The Holsteingate in Lubeck is one of the most famous landmarks in Germany and a prime example of the Brick Gothic architectural style and was built in 1477 as the second in a series of 4 gates guarding this entrance to the old town. Its design is apparently based on the flemish type city gates that are placed as barbicans in the middle of the city moat. Two extant examples of such buildings can still be seen in Brugge.
