    Under the city gates on the city wall in Amberg, the Vilstor near the Vils has a particularly medieval look. The gate tower also dates from the 14th century. But this city gate was also reinforced in 1575 by a kennel porch or an arsenal. quermania.de/bayern/amberg/vilstor.php

      The gate tower dates from the 14th century.

      He was reinforced in 1575 by a weapons court, a so-called barbican. It is decorated by the arms of the Palatinate and the city of Amberg. The wooden rollers for the drawbridge can still be seen today.
