Fortified gateway

A fortified gateway, sometimes a gate castle (Torburg), is a heavily fortified gateway of a castle or a city wall. Castle gateways of this type usually have additional fortifications in front of them. A common form is the tower gateway (Turmtorburg); a variant is the bastion gateway (Halbrundturmtorburg). They are common in Europe.
