        The 41-meter-high Upper or Kronach Gate Tower was part of the city fortifications.
        The lower floors were completed at the beginning of the 15th century.
        In 1551, the tower was extended.
        The top floor and the dome were built in 1802. The tower keeper lived here until 1896. The ground floor once served as a dungeon.
