The Gatehouse is a military building.
Gatehouses (or gates) are defensive structures that provide a controlled passage through a fortification's walls. They are made of wood or stone and generally have retractable bars or doors. Most gatehouses are outfitted with a garrisonable rooftop that allow defenders to station in bigger numbers. Gatehouses can generally take lots of punishment, even from catapults and trebuchets.
Some gatehouses can have drawbridges, which enable crossing through the moat.
