    The Espantor (Espan means "communal, free pastureland") is a gate tower built in the 13th century along with the city walls. The building itself bears the date 1467. The tower, with its asymmetrical floor plan, can be seen from a certain vantage point with all four corners.

      Espantor, Isny
      The gate with its gate tower takes its name from the "Espan" – the land that was available to the public as a common for small livestock and games. The path out of town leads to the "Rain" – still a festival ground for the people of Isny today.

        The Espantor is one of Isny's two remaining city gates. Beautiful parks stretch out in front of it.
