Heimatmuseum Bernau bei Berlin — Steintor

Bernau's local history museum is housed in the Steintor, the last of the town's three gates still standing, at the eastern end of Berliner Straße. Short, steep steps and a cramped, winding passage lead up inside. The low lower wehrgang, lined with arrow slits, leads to a small cell where condemned prisoners spent their final days, while the upper one displays historical weapons. The museum opened in 1882 and calls itself the world's first Hussite museum.
