Tips

  • The almost 800-year-old city wall testifies that Gangelt was an important place in the Middle Ages, which had to be protected by a fortification. On a tour you can still see the remains of walls, gates, alleys and towers impressively. Access to the city was through 4 tower gates. Heinsberger Tor and Bruchtor have survived to this day.

  • Monument description:

    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.

  • Clumsy old city gate, something like that did not survive in many places, but was sacrificed to traffic and laid down
