Built from 1325. The mill gate secured the entrance to Słupsk from the east. The ground-level part of the pointed arch gate with a wooden superstructure was probably built in the years 1325-1329. Between 1365 and 1370 the gate was raised and left open from the city side about halfway. In the 15th century the western facade was closed and only the gate was left open.
