Both the square and the round tower of the Zinnar Gate have been preserved. The lower part of the round tower is made of field stone and was built around 1300. The upper part was made of brick around 1480-1490. The tower is completed at the top with a crenellated wreath and a brick helmet.
The angular tower is a late Gothic building. The tent roof was erected in 1933. The archway was a traffic obstacle and was demolished for this reason in 1886 and rebuilt in a higher form in 1889. The gatekeeper house was demolished in 1928. Today nothing is left of the outer gate or the kennel.
The Jüterbog club and a plaque still hang on the Zinnaer Tor today. It says on the board:
"Anyone who gives his children the bread and then suffers hardship himself, is beaten to death with the club". There is only speculation about the meaning. The Jüterbog club was at all three goals.
