Gozlev gate in the 15th century, it served as the eastern entrance of the fortress wall of the city of Gozlev (Kezlev). They are also known as the gate of the wood Bazaar (Odun-kapusu Bazaar), because just outside the gate there was a bazaar where firewood was sold, which was a rarity in the local Steppe area. This is the only surviving of the five fortress city gates.
The monument was restored in 2004, and during the restoration the old technology was used, as close as possible to the original, i.e. without the use of a binding solution.
Today, the gate building houses a museum (cultural center) and an ethno-cafe of Tatar cuisine with a coffee shop.
