Polish: Brama Ducha Św.
Modelled on the gates built in Flanders, the broad and austere gate dating from the first half of the fourteenth century led to the port quay. It was named after the Benedictine nunnery, formerly located in this place and pulled down during the Swedish siege (17th century).

Polish: Brama Żeglarska
Dating from the first half of the fourteenth century, Sailor’s Gate was one of the most important gates in Toruń: it performed a representative function, among other things. Here, a ceremonial welcome was extended to the distinguished guests. Here, Toruń’s Royal Walk began, leading to the Old City Town Hall. |

Polish: Brama Mostowa
The third and last gate was erected in 1432 by Hans Gotland. It led to the non-extant bridge built under the privilege granted by King John I Albert in 1500. The bridge, from which the gate took its name, was the second longest stable bridge in the Kingdom of Poland after that of Krakow.
