A veritable autonomous fortress, located east of the fortified enclosure giving access to the castle, the building consists of two massive towers of rectangular plane forming galleries, finished in the east on the side of the attack by finger finger at right angles. These two defensive elements, stuffed the entrance passage without covering it completely, to ensure a direct defence. " The existence of finger finger, the operator apparatus of the masonry, the exposed sas shows that this door is the culmination of research carried out by the royal engineers, at the end of the th century. The door Saint-Jean takes place in the vicinity of the doors of Mortes Dead and Carcassonne, which it adopts, by improving the characters " (Jean Mesqui, Ile de France Gothic).

La porte Saint Jean marque l'entrée du château médiéval, quelques mètres plus bas se trouve la porte Saint Pierre qui a vu passer Jeanne d'Arc. L'ensemble du vieux château est magnifique et on peut s'y promener librement et admirer le paysage de la ville et la vallée de la Marne.
The castle from Chateau Thierry is truly magnificent, Remains of the Middle Ages, the porte saint Jean represents the passage de Jeanne arcade in the city.
