The gate was built out of sandstone,[2] and built by masons Schober and Kockert, has the form of a triumphal arch. The gate was put out of service in 1895 (together with the gate bastion) and moved to the nearby castle park.
The gate was topped with the call of the Princes of Brzeg VERBUM DOMINI MANET IN AETERNUM which from Latin translates into The word of the Lord endures forever.
