    One of the secondary exits of the abbey was located along the north side. Through here one could reach an important part of the fields or estates. That is why a high and wide gate was needed to allow the often heavily loaded wagons to enter. The gate was originally equipped with a drawbridge over the moat that closed off the abbey on this side. The gutter-shaped iron supports in which the bridge's axis revolved can still be seen about half a meter above the ground. Initially the road level was much higher.
