Maintor and the Zolltürmchen are located directly on the beautiful Main Riverside Cycle Path.
The main gate, which leads directly from the river into the historic old town, is the last preserved town gate of the medieval fortifications in Steinheim, which was probably built around 1320. Originally the complex consisted of a main and front wall, full and shell towers and 4 city gates. Today the gate appears as a three-storey gatehouse with a vaulted passage and folds for the gate stop with machicolation. In the late 15th century, or as engraved in the archway in 1506, a half-timbered upper floor was added to the building. The current hipped roof has been changed several times, and there is now an apartment in the tower.
The customs tower was used in the 13th century. as a toll station, signal tower and customs lookout. In the 18th century it was used as the palace garden pavilion 🚴‍
