Friedland Gate Museum
Фридландские ворота
A gate from 1862 converted into a museum, where projections and old photographs let you 'walk' through the prewar streets of Königsberg.
Friedland Gate is one of the gates of the old city's outer defensive ring, built in 1862. Its brick walls and moat are well preserved. The history museum inside is most popular for its multimedia exhibit 'Strolling Old Königsberg', which uses projected old photographs to recreate 1930s street scenes, trams and shops. Other displays cover city history, the city walls and the Teutonic Order. Admission is inexpensive. Exhibits are mainly in Russian, so a translation app may help. The gate lies near the southern park and can be reached from the city center by bus.
