The Erfurt Gate is a historic Romanesque chamber gate in the upper castle of the Kyffhäuser Monument. It is one of the few remaining parts of the original castle complex and offers a fascinating insight into medieval architecture. The gate is simple and served as access to the castle, without additional defensive structures.
