The core of the heavily renovated gate complex may date back to the time of Frederick III. It represents an outwork of the Friedrichtor, which protected the vulnerable mountain side of Linz Castle. The gate received its additional name "Trutzbauer" (fortress builder) during the Peasants' War, when the insurgent army besieged the city of Linz.

The St. Martin's Gate with the painting on the outside of the heavy doors is fascinating.

In essence, the heavily renovated gate complex may date back to the time of Frederick III. It is an outwork of the Frederick Gate, which protected the mountain side of Linz Castle that was vulnerable to attack. It was given the name Trutzbauer during the Peasants' War, when the army of the insurgents besieged the city of Linz.
