The defensive towers, also called milk pots because of their shape, were built at the beginning of the 16th century and are remnants of the city's fortifications. At the beginning of the 17th century, the gate was rebuilt. During the siege in 1813, part of the gate was destroyed. In 1945, the interior burned down and the roofs collapsed.From 1972, the gate was used by the ARPO Workers' Cooperative of Polish Artists, which bought the complex in the 1990s. In 2012, the gate was sold. The area of the complex is 400 m².

The Milk Can Gate is a city gate on Gdańsk's Granary Island. The round bastions were built in the 15th century. The higher bastion is 28 meters high, 13 meters across, and its walls are 4 meters thick. It is covered with a conical tiled roof. The lower bastion is only 10 meters high and 8 meters wide. It has a flat pent roof. The towers were damaged during World War II. The Gdańsk artists' cooperative "Arpo" rebuilt them in the 1980s. At that time, the towers were connected by a wooden gallery.
