    The main gate was completely renovated in 1984 and today forms an attractive ensemble with the remaining wall remains in the area. A private art museum by the Schwarzach sculptor Theophil Steinbrenner has been housed in the tower since 1985. Source: Wikipedia

        The Maintorturm was built at the end of the 16th century as part of the medieval fortification. A museum has been located there since 1987.
