The stone gate , also known as the Grimmen gate , in Tribsees is one of the two remaining gates of the fortifications that surrounded the city. The Gothic three-storey brick gate from the 13th century was built on a field stone base and secured the road to Grimmen .

The gate has an ogival passage. The gate has little decoration, so plaster panels are completely missing. On the field side, the upper floors are separated by plaster strips. Atypically, the city side is more ornate. This can be explained as follows: This system was a double-gate system. The gate with the decorative side facing away from the city is no longer available due to demolition in previous centuries. In the upper storey there are lined-up arched panels, some of which are provided with windows, as well as under the gable with corner pinnacles. The city side is adorned by blind arcades and a staggered lunette gable with pinnacles . There are four windows arranged one above the other. At the southeast corner (left side of the field) there is a buttress placed over a corner with the year 1732.

The gate was badly damaged during a fire in 1702. During construction, some major changes were made to the tower. Between 1991 and 2007 the local history museum was housed in the gate .
