A well-preserved tower below Staufenberg Castle.

The tower from 1401 is the only one of the three gates of the old city wall that has survived. In addition to a clockwork, it contains four bells from the 15th and 16th centuries.

The gate tower was part of the city wall erected around 1400. The tower not only has a clockwork, but also four bells from the 15th and 16th centuries, which are listed monuments, and was therefore not only a city gate, but also a bell tower at the same time.
