Die Burg Falkenstein ist eine hochmittelalterliche Höhenburg im Harz. Die Grundanlage wurde um die Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts errichtet. In den nachfolgenden Jahrhunderten kam es immer wieder zu baulichen Veränderungen. Seit 1946 gibt es das Museum Burg Falkenstein.

Das Türportal ziert den Innenhof der Burganlage, wo sich sonst nur schlichte Türen und Eingänge befinden. Das Portal wird von einem Segmentgiebel gekrönt, in dessen Mitte sich drei Wappen befinden. Direkt über der holzernen Tür mit Glasaufbau befindet sich ein Löwenkopf. Rechts und Links der Tür kann man zwei Herzmuscheln finden.
