The Burgtor, built 1444 in late Gothic style, was the northern city gate of Hanseatic Lübeck, now in Germany. It is one of two towered gates remaining from the medieval fortifications, the other being the more famous Holstentor.

Europäisches Hansemuseum
Opened in 2015, this is perhaps the "crown jewel" among Lübeck's historical museums as it gives an in-depth look into Lübeck's over 800 years of history and how Lübeck shaped the Hanseatic League and how the Hanse in turn shaped Lübeck. The light in the main exhibition is generally dark, it feels new for the design, such as using a card for some displays to show information on screen. It uses German and English, sometimes Swedish and Russian, in the description. A good place to learn the details of history of Hanseatic League. All visitors must receive a blue card for statistics and choosing language to show on the information screen.
