Stągiewna Gate Milk Stągwie - a historic city gate on the Granary Island in Gdańsk . Built at the beginning of the 16th century, the defensive towers are called Milk Jars due to their shapes and are the remains of the city's fortifications. At the beginning of the 17th century, the gate was rebuilt. During the siege in 1813, part of the gate was destroyed. In 1945 the interiors burned down and the roofs collapsed.
From 1972, the gate was used by the Polish Artists and Designers Cooperative ARPO , which bought the building in the 1990s.

Most Stągiewny (bridge) From the east, the bridge connects the Granary Island with the Long Gardens .
There is a historic Stągiewna Gate next to the bridge. The shape of its tower was associated with jars in Gdańsk . Hence the name of both the bridge and Stągiewna Street, which begins at the western abutment of the bridge. On the eastern abutment, there is a confluence of Szafarnia, Długie Ogrody and Szopy streets .
Until World War II, the bridge was a drawbridge and a tram line ran from the Main Town to Stogi .
The bridge has a load capacity of 40 tons, although it is located in the zone of streets with a ban on entry for vehicles over 3.5 tons of total weight.

Long Pobrzeże - a water promenade in Gdańsk in the Main Town, stretching along the western bank of the Motława River. Along the street, there are water gates that are characteristic of Gdańsk architecture . The street was once called the Long Bridge.
The first mentions of a marina on this bank of Motława date back to the 14th century. For centuries, in the place of today's promenade, there were wooden platforms of different heights, not connected to each other, for unloading and unloading ships. In the 17th century, they were combined into one bridge. After World War II, the street was rebuilt from concrete elements and lined with polished marble.

Monumental Mariacka Gate is one of the water gates of Gdańsk Main City. It was built in late-Gothic style on an elongated rectangle plan.
The gate was built probably at the end of the 15th century. In the 16th century, it was no longer used for military purposes and was rebuilt into apartments. It was destroyed in 1945. During the renovation in the years between 1958 and 1961, part of the rooms was connected to the neighboring House of Danzig Research Society while the stepped gables were built over the passages. The reconstructed object was donated to the Archeological Museum.
