Brána domu čp. 81 Gate
Renaissance sandstone gate known as Zdonínská is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, located in Litomyslský Suburb, district Ústí nad Orlicí, Pardubický kraj.

The gate was part of a court located near the High Myth. The history of this site is closely linked to the family of Donín, who acted as owners here.
