The listed Saaltor spans Burgstrasse at the southern end of the historic old town and defines the access to the old town centre from the south. The only remaining gate of the three gates in the medieval town fortifications is, in its current form, a simple building from the second half of the 18th century. The upper floor is built in half-timbered style.

The last of the three surviving city gates of the medieval fortifications, which used to have large wooden gate wings and a small built-in wicket gate. The gatekeeper's apartment was on the upper floor. The basket arch-like passage was shortened by later road elevations. Source: information board on the building

The gate is the only preserved city gate of the former fortifications. It was built in its present form in the 18th century. The upper floor is in timber frame construction.
