Mølleporten, Stege

Mølleporten in Stege on Møn is one of only two preserved town gates in Denmark, the other being Vesterport in Faaborg. It is a four-storey foundation walled gate tower with a steep pyramidal roof, probably built in the 15th century, but first mentioned in writing in 1531 in Stege Bys bog. At the end of the 17th century, a prison was built in the attic of the mill tower. In the gate room there are cobblestones and along the walls pebbles. All floor partitions are made of boards and a heavy beam layer.

In 1873 it was decided to demolish the Mill Gate, but this was not done, and in 1895 it was protected as a historical monument. In the same year, Erik Schiødte began restoration work, which was completed in 1896. The gate was given its present appearance in 1902 by a major restoration, which included extensive rebuilding of the facade and re-roofing. In 1909, H.B. Storck drew up a restoration project, which was not carried out.

In August 2019, Vordingborg Municipality received DKK 10 million from the A.P. Møller Foundation to restore the building.

The name refers to its location at the end of the former Møllestræde leading to Møllemarken, where most of the town's mills stood in medieval times.
