Continue north along Bagergade towards the square Hovedvagtstorvet.
Hovedvagten, Søndergade 12, was the town gate from the south along Søndergade, and was built as a guardhouse and gaol in 1743–44, using building materials taken from Hammershus Castle.
For many years, the building was the only brick-built house in Rønne.
Due to Søndergade’s narrow passage at this point, a pavement was established at the east end of the building in 1940.
