Monastery gate – gate, also known as the gateway of the Holy spirit, was built in the fourteenth century as one of the three gates of the medieval Torun. Despite a slight reconstruction of the gate and still retained the original form of a Gothic tower with three pointed arches.

The construction of fortifications in Torun began in the mid-thirteenth century, after the invasion of Svyatopolk in 1241. Brick medieval walls were built about 50 years of the thirteenth century. Next, began the construction of defensive towers, which was built only 33, and gate of the city, among which were the Monastery gate.

The gate was built in Flemish Gothic style in the first half of the fourteenth century. The development of military equipment, especially firearms, was the cause of strengthening the gates, which were held in 1420. Arched indentations were made on the outer side of the gate, in addition, were built by the holes, which during the attack, the city's defenders could pour attackers with boiling water, oil or resin. Monastery gate were equipped with solid wooden doors with metal parts, which were mounted in the holes and, if necessary, completely blocked the door.

In the nineteenth century the Monastery gate lost its defensive function. In the interwar period it housed the first Polish officer school Navy. Today this fact is reminiscent of a powerful anchor, located on the Boulevard between the gate and the Vistula.
