Address: ul. Długi Targ 24 , 80-828 Gdańsk

Probably the oldest of Gdansk's water gates. This is the first example of Dutch Mannerism in Gdańsk. It was built of small, Dutch bricks in the years 1564-1568 by Regnier from Amsterdam and Dresden Hans Kramer, as the Gdańsk residence of Polish kings, but despite this purpose, it never visited kings. The Natural Society was located here. It has a huge hall on the first floor, where Gdańsk residents organized festivities, feasts and theatrical performances. In 1999, the Gate became the property of the Pomeranian Local Government, which decided to revitalize the building and hand it over to the Gdańsk National Museum. The Green Gate is the only branch of the Museum that does not own or collect collections. The two main rooms fulfill the function of exhibition rooms in which temporary exhibitions of ancient and modern art are presented. Interiors are also a place for meetings, conferences and shows. In one of the rooms of the Green Gate is the office of former President of the Third Republic of Poland Lech Wałęsa
