Burgtor
The only other surviving medieval city gate at the north end of the Old Town, topped with a Baroque spire, beside the European Hansemuseum.
Built in 1444, this is the only one of Lübeck's four original city gates to survive apart from the Holstentor. It has a Baroque-style spire, and on either side of the gate stretch sections of city wall and an old customs house. Viewing the exterior is free, and passing through the gate marks the boundary between the Old Town and the north bank of the Trave River. It is usually visited together with the European Hansemuseum and Burgkloster, and it is about a five-minute walk to St. Jacobi Church.
