The Judentor (Jew's Gate) is one of three surviving city gates in Coburg. The gate tower marked the western boundary of the city center and was part of the inner city wall. The city gate, probably built in the early 13th century, was first documented in 1321 as the Judentor (Jew's Gate). The gate tower was built on the floodplain of the Itz River. The name Judentor (Jew's Gate) refers to the Jewish community of Coburg, which was located west of the Judentor in the 14th and 15th centuries.

The farm, with its fortified structure, was built on a medieval trade route from the Main Valley to Erfurt and a former ford over the Röden River. Over the centuries, the fortified structure developed into a moated castle and eventually a palace. Owners from the 14th century onward included the Coburg family, who, in 1451, sold the property to the mint masters of Rosenau. In 1600, the castle and estate were acquired by Duke Johann Casimir for 28,000 guilders and transferred to the princely chamber of Coburg as a domain.

When the water crowfoot blooms in summer, as here under the Main Bridge near Staffelstein, it's a sign of good water quality. It's a prerequisite for the aquatic plant to spread. There are apparently larger populations of water crowfoot along this stretch of the Main. The plant needs a gravel bed and a relatively moderate flow rate to thrive. The perennial plant, with its white-yellow flowers, gives a lot back to the river: It provides oxygen, a refuge for young fish, and food for insects like the rare demoiselle damselflies with their blue-black wings.

Worth a visit even without access to the castle;

It is privately owned so unfortunately you can only get a glimpse of it through the gate.
