Built in 1392, it is the city's landmark and the historic entrance from the east. With the half-timbered floor for the tower keeper, a steep hipped roof and the bell tower, the 33-meter-high tower was given its current appearance in 1630.
Since 1981, it has been accessible to the tower keeper's apartment via 133 steps from the Hohenfeld Chapel.

The ascent through the four-story tower, the only completely preserved structure of the former city wall dating back to 1385, at the end of which a wonderful view awaits visitors, leads to further sights: Directly after passing through the Otto Schöfer Hall to the tower, on the first floor to the left is a cooper's workshop, where tools and products of this craft are on display.Read more here ⬇️verein-historisches-camberg.de/arbeitsgruppen/arbeitsgruppe-museum/stadt-und-turmmuseum/obertorturm.htmlBy the way:
Right next to the gate is the spa gardens with water features, a Kneipp pool, and a calisthenics facility.
