Water Gate, Isny
The city gate, which dates back to the Middle Ages, leads into the water-rich suburb of Isny. Inscriptions by former prisoners tell of the 500 years it spent as a dungeon.

The first floor was a prison. The only access to it was an opening in the ceiling through which the prisoner was "unwound" on a rope. A crucifixion group is set amidst wall paintings and doodles added by prisoners, with dates from the 16th / 17th century.
