[1] A suspension bridge was built here in the early 19th century to span the Bug River.

The bridge was badly damaged in 1915 at World War I.

Another bridge built here before 1941 was ruined during World War II.

Before the war outbreak in 1941, the gate used to be a three-storey structure with small turrets above.

On June 22, 1941 Wehrmacht infantry made their way into the Citadel.
