The city was founded around 1243. The almost 800-year-old city wall shows that Gangelt was an important place in the Middle Ages that had to be protected by fortifications. During a tour you can still impressively see the remains of walls, gates, alleys and towers. The city was accessed through 4 tower gates. Heinsberger Tor and Bruchtor have been preserved to this day. The Sittarder Tor was demolished in 1818. The castle was integrated into the city fortifications. Its origins go back to the 14th century. Today the keep remains, which originally housed rooms.
