For those German tourists who are looking for the kind of attractions that truly bring to light the last vestiges of the country’s ancient and rich history, Wismar has a lot to offer. Foremost among its offerings is the Wassertor Gateway, a remnant of the city’s fortification in the medieval era. When the city was fortified, it was surrounded by walls and defensive towers, with only a few entrances to the town itself. The Wassertor Gateway is one of those entrances, and stood watch over the Alter Hafen harbor.
Built in the middle of the 15th century, the Wassertor and its gateway are supreme examples of Gothic architecture that visitors are certain to delight in, especially if they’re the type looking out for something of historical import and aesthetic beauty all rolled into one. The façade features coats of arms from important families throughout the entire history of Germany, and massive arrays of windows in elaborate patterns. In a sense, it still stands watch over the harbor, which is to this day a lively, thriving enterprise.
