Rossgarten Gate
Росгартенские ворота
A 19th-century gate beside the Amber Museum, decorated with reliefs of Prussian generals Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and now housing a restaurant.
Rossgarten Gate was built in 1852–1855 as part of the old city's outer defenses. Its gatehouse has portrait reliefs of the Prussian military reformers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau on either side. A restaurant now operates inside the gate, and the exterior can be viewed for free. It stands next to Dohna Tower (the Amber Museum) and Wrangel Tower. Walking around the Upper Pond takes you past all these fortifications, making it a good urban walking route.
