In the 15th or 16th century, the westernmost of the Linz city gates, made of basalt and slate, was rebuilt as a successor to the gate originally built with the rest of the city fortifications between 1320 and 1329. It was later rebuilt several times.

In contrast to the rest of the city fortifications, most of which were demolished in 1861, the gate at Burgplatz 1 is still preserved. It is protected as a cultural monument.[1][2

Cycling

Through the Rheintor you get directly to the Burgplatz and the old town. At the moment (June 2022) the place is almost half closed due to a construction site.

Hiking

There is a cafe in front of the Rhine Gate that you should definitely visit. The Rhine Gate is built with local basalt. You can find out more on the Linz Basalt Loop.
