The Luisentor, called Kuhtor until 1821, is Demmin's only surviving city gate. It was the tallest gate building of the Demmin city fortifications and at the same time the most important, as it served to secure the east side of the city, which was not protected by natural obstacles. Most of the attacks on Demmin also took place on this side. With a height of 31 meters, it is the second highest city gate in Pomerania after the Anklamer Steintor.

Demmiin doesn't have a lot of industry, but a detour through the city is worthwhile

Demmin's highest and last remaining city gate is also popularly known as the "Kuhtor" (Cow Gate). It was built in the 13th century along with the city wall. It features a Gothic stepped gable and originally had a wooden walkway below the gable. The city gate served as a city prison for a time and was a youth hostel from 1952 to 2002.
