The Murtentor stands on the longest stretch of still existing fortification walls in Switzerland. The accessible section leads from the bulwark via the Murtentor to the garden of the teacher training college. The city fortification has six towers, five gates, seven city wall sections and a large bulwark.

The gate dates back to the Middle Ages and served as one of the main entrances to the city. It was part of the city fortifications that protected Freiburg from invasions and attacks.
