Anklamer Tor (Usedom)
The Anklamer Tor was part of the medieval fortification of the city of Usedom in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and secured access to the city to the west. The building was probably built around 1450 and later also used as a prison tower. The four-storey brick building with an ogival passage used to have a gable to the town and the field side instead of the hipped roof . There used to be a front gate on the field side. On the city side, the floors are separated from each other by plaster panels. On the field side there is a portico niche extending over three floors .
The Usedomer Heimatstube is located in Anklamer Tor, here you can find out more about life on the island and in the city of Usedom in a permanent exhibition. One room in the tower is dedicated to the Usedom painter and photographer Albert Köster. On the top floor there is a small hall where weddings can be carried out.
