Description   

The eastern gate is spanned by a wide moat and defended by high stone walls. The foundation of both the walls and gate are stone, with wooden roofed walkways constructed over them. This was a weak point in the construction, as parts of the palace have burned down, owing once to lightning and again owing to a city-wide fire. The last rebuilding effort took place in 1867.
