    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 from 1585 is one of the last two still standing towers of the former village fortification.

        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.
