King's Gate (Kaliningrad)

The King's Gate (Russian: Королевские ворота, tr.

: Korolevskie vorota, German: Königstor) is one of the former six gates that were built during the 19th century around Kaliningrad (the former Prussian city of Königsberg).

The west facade has three sandstone statues, made by sculptor Wilhelm Stürmer: nine metres above the ground to the left the Bohemian king Ottokar II is depicted, who was Königsberg's namesake.

To the right Albert, Prussia's first duke and founder of the Albertina university, holds an eye over the city.

Fully restored statues replaced the decapitated ones on the gate with this renovation.
