Under the erroneous name of "Porte Saint-Guillaume", the building appears on the first list of 1840 established at the request of Prosper Mérimée. It was classified as a historical monument in 1911.
The gate was destroyed by the retreating German army on the night of August 15 to 16, 1944. The protection was not called into question after its destruction.

The earliest remains on the site date back to the 1st century, with the remains of an ancient domus, a street, and its wooden gutter. The first Guillaume Gate was built around 1185; a wall can still be seen a little further along Rue de la Porte Guillaume. Source: journals.openedition.org/cem/14214?lang=en
