The Klever Gate, an impressive three-story city gate from the 14th century, is a relic of the old city fortifications. Two round towers, the so-called owl towers, flank the first gate opening from the side facing away from the city. A bridge-like driveway, which used to be over the city moat, leads to the main gate.

The square building was used for many purposes over the centuries; at times it served as a prison. Today holidaymakers can spend the night there. Once you climb the spiral stairs, you can enjoy beautiful views of the city.

The Klever Tor with the sculpture of the pump neighborhood in front of it is probably one of the most beautiful highlights in Xanten, next to the cathedral of course.

The double gate was built in 1393 as part of the medieval city fortifications Xantens. While other gates were demolished in the 19th century, the Klever Tor was preserved due to a decision of the city council. The upper parts of the towers have been restored - but the substructure of the gate is still original.
