Facts and practical information

The Anklamer Tor was part of the medieval fortifications of the town of Usedom in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and secured the access to the town to the west. The building was probably erected around 1450 and later also used as a prison tower. The four-story brick building with a pointed arched passage used to have gables facing the town and the field side instead of the hipped roof. On the field side there used to be a front gate. On the city side, the floors are separated from each other by plaster screens. On the field side there is a three-story drop gate niche.

The Usedom Heimatstube is located in the Anklamer Tor; here you can find out about earlier life on the island and in the town of Usedom in a permanent exhibition. One room in the tower is dedicated to the Usedom painter and photographer Albert Köster. On the top floor there is a small hall where wedding ceremonies can be held.
