Although it looks similar, the photos here show the Chapel or Weth Gate and not the Lower Gate. The lower gate is also in a completely different place (see correct highlight!). The Weth gate was built in 1714 and shows the coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Philipp Greifenclau above the archway. Since 1999 it houses the Red Cross Museum. The back of the chapel gate is rather simple and without half timbered.

The Red Cross Museum has been located in the chapel gate since 1999, also known today as the Goßmansdorfer gate. It is a two-story half-timbered gatehouse that was rebuilt in 1540 after the Peasants' War and renovated in 1730 under Prince Bishop Greiffenklau. The sovereign coat of arms of the prince-bishop on the outside of the building still bears witness to this today.
