    The Obertor was built in the 13th century, it is located in the south of the former city fortifications of Neuss and is part of the medieval city fortifications. In 1985 the Obertor was listed as a registered monument. The two large round towers on the side facing out of town are striking. You can also see many walled-in spherical objects there. These are supposed to represent cannonballs that got stuck there in one of the many wars surrounding this city. (At least that's what a friend who comes from Neuss told me). Overall, a very massive historical object worth seeing. In one of the photos you can see and read a very nice and detailed information board with its description.

    I think the modern extension is a bit off.

    The Obertor was accessible as part of an event at the Clemens Sels Museum and I really liked it! The passage tunnel there is equipped with an artistically designed floor covering and offers an impressive view of Neuss.

    It's simply fantastic that this building, including the chapel, has still been preserved. If you look down the street you can see almost to the end of the historic city)

    Trochę podobna do Bramy Holsztyńskiej w Lubece, ale na porównanie nie zasługuje.

👍 Eine kleine grüne Oase mitten in der Stadt. Überall gibt es Bänke, auf denen man in Ruhe sitzen und die Natur bewundern oder die Sonne genießen kann. Der Botanische Garten ist tagsüber geöffnet, der Eintritt ist frei.
