Swedish Gate is called so of course in connection with the Swedish period in the history of the city. About this gate (as well as about many things in old Riga) there are legends and various stories are told. So, for example, they say that one brewer built the gate in order to get to Aldu street (brewers street) faster. Or, they say that a girl and a Swedish soldier were bricked up alive in the gate, whose love was impermissible in the eyes of the then moral guardians, and only a truly loving couple can, at midnight, pass through the gate, hear the whispering of those who have not paid for their lives.
