    The outer gate of the Rosenberg Fortress inscribed: 16PHIL:(LIPP)VALEN:(TIN)EPISC.(OPUS)BAMB(ERGENSIS)62. The gate was completed under Prince Bishop Philipp Valentin Voit von Rieneck in 1662 and is a structural masterpiece by the master builder Antonio Petrini, its passage angled to make direct shooting through impossible. Inside there is still a hanging portcullis and lateral loopholes. In addition, several machicolations in the top of the ceiling, which could be charged from above. On the inside of the gate there is a devil's grimace, between whose teeth blackbirds regularly breed.
