the building:
First mentioned in the records in 1262, it is the oldest
surviving city gate. Originally giving access to the city from the
south, it was later used only for cattle, and later served as a
dwelling. In the 1980s it was turned into a literature house. A squat,
three storey brick building, it has a square ground plan. Above the
ogival archway on the city side there are blind openings, and on the
outer face an indented frieze, twin recesses, and embrasures. Adjoining
the Cow Gate are the wall and fortified tower dating from 1577.
