According to old documents, the castle complex had a total of seven towers.
The Gothic gate tower from 1340 with its steep hipped roof made of slate was one of these towers and served as a town or castle gate. Anyone who wanted to go to Altweilnau had to go through this gate.
There is an opening in the ceiling of the gate passage through which a long rope led, which was used to ring the small Mary bell on the upper level.
The gate tower has three levels and is unfortunately not available for viewing.

The striking, very well-preserved gate tower with hipped roof (built in the 13th century) was formerly an essential part of the fortifications of Altweilnau Castle. Everyone who wanted to go to Altweilnau or the castle had to go through this gate!
