Railway Gates

Kalinin's Railway Gates were built from 1866 to 1869 and served as an entrance to the old railway line passing through the city towards Pillau (modern-day Baltiysk). The structure preserved original rails until the end of the 20th century, after which it was transformed into a pedestrian zone. The gates are adorned with casemates featuring embrasures and gunports giving the impression of protective shutters. Today, to the left of the gates stands a multimedia planetarium, while nearby there is a path leading to a park beyond the monument.
