The foundation walls of the customs house still show the remains of a bastion from the 11th / 12th. Century, which protruded next to the city gate.

The foundation walls of the customs house still show the remains of a bastion from the 11th / 12th. Century, which protruded next to the city gate. They were later used as the basis for a new building. Under the building, the current customs house, there is a corridor that leads to and from the city under the city wall.

When Geithain joined the Saxon Zollverein, the building became a customs house. Until the end of the garrison period, on April 1st, 1897, a small room was used as a bar for Uhlans, carters and traveling people.

Since 2019 the customs house can be used as a wedding room.
