The southernmost city limits of the 14th century & the picturesque city tower: the Konstanz Schnetztor is the only remaining fortification in medieval Constance, along with the Rheintor and Powder Tower. It was built in the 14th century including a kennel. Its historical façade fascinates with the preserved half-timbering and the wall foundations preserved in the pavement are also clearly visible on the "Löwenplatz" south of the tower.

The Schnetztor is the southernmost limit of the city. The archway leads directly to the pedestrian zone in the old town
