The Holstentor Gate is one of four original entrances to the old town of Lübeck. As an important trading city in the north, Lübeck was regarded for several centuries as the "capital" of the Hanseatic League. The Holstentor Gate was erected by the city master builder Hinrich Helmsted between 1464 and 1478. It consists of two towers with an arched entranceway between them. A front gate was added in 1585 to improve defences, but it was later demolished.
