Bread bank gate
The Bread Bank Gate (Polish Brama Chlebnicka) is a Gothic city gate in Gdansk . It was built on the Lange Brücke at the end of Brotbänkengasse in the fourteenth century. It is the oldest of the three preserved Gdańsk water gates, as evidenced by the city coat of arms from the Mottlaus side - two silver-colored crosses in the red coat of arms - still without the crown added in 1457. The coat of arms in the form of a lily can be seen from Brotbänkengasse - ascribed to the Samborids .
Both brick facades are structured with high panels and double pointed arches. Above the passage there are step-shaped gables on both facades, also structured with panels. Only one of the two octagonal corner towers has survived.
The bread bank gate survived the war events in 1945 almost undamaged.
