History
The gate was discovered during the restoration of the fortress. It had not been used for more than 300 years. The gate was walled up after the fortress was built, which meant that it was not expected to be used. Before 1717, this gate was used to allow Austrian soldiers to move in and out of the fortress during an unexpected attack.
