The Harbour Gate (Polish: Brama Portowa; German: Hafentor), formerly known as the Berlin Gate (Polish: Brama Berlińska; German: Berliner Tor), and the Brandenburg Gate (Polish: Brama Brandenburska; German: Brandenburger Tor), is a historic Baroque city gate in Szczecin, Poland, located at the intersection of Independence Avenue, Wyszyńskiego Street, and Victory Square. It was constructed between 1725 and 1727, with the project being designed by Gerhard Cornelius van Wallrawe, and its elaborate façade sculptures done by Bartholomé Damart. It served as one of the entraces to the city, and was part of the fortification walls, until 1841, when they were deconstructed. Currently, it serves as a community theatre venue.
