Facts and practical information

The Stone Gate in its present form is a gate built in 1574 to 1577 in the Renaissance architectural style in the south of the historic Rostock city fortifications. It replaced the older gate, which was sanded in 1566. Along with the Kröpeliner Tor, the Petritor and the Mühlentor, the Steintor was one of the four main gates of the city of Rostock.
