The Goch stone gate is the last preserved city gate of Goch. It has served a wide variety of purposes throughout its history.

The city of Goch was fortified by ramparts in 1341 and city walls in 1366. The stone gate was first mentioned in 1371. The three remaining city gates that were demolished in the early 19th century (Frauentor, Mühlentor, Voßtor) also probably came from the second half of the 14th century. In the 19th century the gate served as a prison. On October 24, 1919, the southern central section collapsed. Johann Klein prevented the demolition at the time, so that the stone gate was repaired again. From 1930 it functions as a local museum. On October 1, 1936, the Steintor became the headquarters of the Hitler Youth. After its restoration following damage during the Second World War, the stone gate was used as the city's police station. From 1956 to 1991 the Steintor served again as a museum and from 1956 to 1976 also as a city archive. Today the rooms on the first floor are used as a carnival museum and on the second floor by the local history and tourism association.

The stone gate consists of a central section with a rectangular floor plan, which is flanked by two round towers. The four-storey middle section is covered with a steep hipped roof and has an ogival gateway on the ground floor, above which there are three niches decorated with stone carvings from the 19th century (Saint George with city coat of arms, Prussian coat of arms, imperial coat of arms). A pitchman sits between the windows on the third floor. The top floor of the round towers with pointed roofs is designed as a decagon. The gate is crowned by a crenellated wreath on the towers and the field side of the central section.
