    The Georgstor represents part of the extension of the valley fortifications from the 17th century. The rooms on the upper floor house the Blankenheim Carnival Museum.

      Hardly recognizable as a gate from the inside, because it is more like a building between the neighboring houses. It is therefore worth the walk through and the view from the outside.

        Count Salentin Ernst had the Georgstor built around 1679 when it became necessary to expand the local fortifications. The wooden figure of the local patron St. George stands in a niche outside. Today the Georgstor houses a historical carnival museum, which gives an insight into the history and importance of the Blankenheim carnival.
