The Cranger Tor is the landmark Cranges and the Cranger Kirmes!

On August 2, 1978, the Cranger Tor was inaugurated. It was then a gift of the showman (Ludwig Kallenkoot).

In 1990, for the 555th anniversary of the Cranker Kirmes, the master locksmith Constantin Costaras decorated the gate. In addition, for the first time he put up the three numbers showing how many times the carnival took place. From now on Constantin Costaras brought the new number every year for free.

On August 13, 1997, the gate was rammed by a semi-trailer and had to be repaired.

In March 1998, the Cranger Tor was back in its old place and was 25 cm higher.

On August 1, 2010, the gate was hit for the second time.

In June 2011 it got higher, bigger and harder to rebuild. Since then, the gate weighs about 4.5 tons and is about 7.50 meters high and 5 meters wide.

The Cranger Tor was, is and always will be a hangout at the Cranger Kirmes. If the question arises: "Where do we meet?" Is almost always the answer: "We meet at the CRANGER GATE!"
