The most striking component of the high castle is the 64 meter high gate tower on the north side. The five-storey building was the tallest tower in the complex and not only fulfilled a defense function, but also a symbol of power. The lower part of its masonry consists mostly of basalt, while the higher parts are made of tuff. It has a high, slated pyramidal roof, typical of the Gothic period. The top floor of the tower, measuring around 8 × 9 meters, consists of a cantilevered battlement floor with four pentagonal turrets.
