Kušnierska brána. Dodnes sa z mestského opevnenia zachovali len jeho fragmenty.
The fortification system of the town of Kežmarok was probably created at the beginning of
the 14th century. It also includes Kežmarok Castle. The town walls, which closed the histor
ic center of the town, came from both sides of Kežmarok Castle. The fortification stretched
for about 2 km, the space inside the walls occupied an area of about 20 hectares and lined
its entire floor plan. The town fortifications consisted of two parts, an upper inner wall and
a lower outer wall. There was a moat between the two walls.
The fortified town was entered through first through two town gates – Upper (Top or
Levoča), which led to Levoča and Poprad. Then through the gate Lower (Bottom or Polish),
which headed for Poland. Later, the Kušnier Gate was added. To this day, only fragments
of the town fortifications have been preserved.
