At the south-western end of Höchst's old town, extensive parts of the city's fortifications have been preserved. The 13th century Ochsenturm was originally a free-standing watchtower. It was incorporated into the city's fortification system when the city was expanded between 1396 and 1432. The Main Gate, in the form still visible today, was built in 1460.
