    The seven-story tower is also known as the Sommerach Gate or Thieves' Tower due to its location and its former use, from which prison cells can still be found today.

    A commemorative plaque bearing the coat of arms of Julius Echter and an inscription referring to the Restaurata Anno domini MDXCVII is mounted above the gate passage.
