It is not difficult to notice that the wall between the House With The Paintings and The South Gate differs in appearance from the rest of the wall. According to legend, it is the part of the wall which King Valdemar IV of Denmark and his troops tore down, and marched through the breach thirteen men abreast, when they entered Visby in 1361. The name of the wall today alludes to that story.

Later research has shown that the wall has not been completely demolished to ground level by King Valdemar and his troops. On the town-side of the wall, the ground-level arches of the original wall are still untouched.
