A beautiful half-timbered house, the cycle path goes right through it to the Gleichberge. You reach the Celtic cycle path.

The gatehouse, which was renovated at considerable expense in 1993/94, is considered a landmark of the village alongside the fortified church built in 1520. The favorable traffic location on the old trade route from Königshofen via St. Bernhard to the Werra Valley was of great economic, political and ecclesiastical importance.

Gatehouses of the same type can be found, for example, in Großeibstadt near Bad Königshofen, in Trappstadt or in Gabolshausen in front of Bad Königshofen.
Sometimes they were part of the city wall or city fortifications.

Gatehouses at castle and city gates stood next to gates, or the gate was integrated into the gatehouse. Here the gate is in the foreground and the building is attached. These gatehouses regularly served as accommodation for the guards. They also served to collect tax money in the form of tolls or paving fees. Therefore, they were also located at the city gates.

Located directly above the cycle path, you drive through an imposing half-timbered house in Milz, which is rare these days, a gatehouse.
