Stadttor

The Mainzer Tor stands at the entrance of Miltenberg, featuring a symmetrical stone structure with distinctive architectural elements from the medieval period.

Built during the 14th century, this tower formed an essential part of Miltenberg's fortification system, protecting the town from potential invasions along the Main River.

The tower remains a central element of Miltenberg's historical district, representing the traditional defensive architecture common in medieval Bavarian settlements.
