Brandenburg Gate (Kaliningrad)
Бранденбургские ворота
Kaliningrad's only old city gate still open to traffic, first built in 1657 and rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style in 1843.
This Brandenburg Gate predates the Berlin gate of the same name. It was first built in 1657; the surviving structure is a red-brick Neo-Gothic rebuild from 1843, decorated with reliefs of the Prussian generals Yorck and Astor. Unlike the other gates, it still serves as a road, and cars and pedestrians pass through the arch. Viewing the exterior is free, and a stop of 10–20 minutes is enough. It suits a stop on the way from the South Station to the city center.
