The Upper Gate of Boersch was built on a square plan, was approximately 15 meters high, and served as a passage for travelers on their way to Ottrott or Mount Odilienberg. A wooden gate with two massive leaves, secured by a heavy beam, served as protection. The four-meter-wide gate controlled access to the town.

Inside was a small room, a kitchen, and a bunk bed where a guard could comfortably sleep. In the 19th century, it was threatened with destruction, but the gate was finally saved and restored in 1907-1908. Since then, the gate has featured a fresco depicting Saint Medard, the patron saint of the town.
