Tips

Michael (Wasi)

The Würzburg Gate is one of Forchtenberg's historic city gates and a striking example of medieval urban architecture. 🏰🚪

Located at the eastern entrance to the old town, it was once part of the city fortifications that protected Forchtenberg from attacks from the direction of Würzburg. With its massive masonry, characteristic round arch, and adjacent half-timbered houses, it still exudes strength and history.

The Würzburg Gate was built by master builder Michael Kern II in 1604 and was inscribed with a saying.
