Grenzhaus Heyerode, Historical gatehouse in Vogtei, Germany
The building stands 600 meters east of Heyerode village along Landesstraße 2104, featuring a half-timbered construction with a robust tower base.
Constructed in 1613 as a western border point and customs collection facility, the structure marked the boundary between Catholic Eichsfeld and Protestant territories.
The exterior displays the Mainz coat of arms dated 1650, representing the historical connection to the administrative authority of Kurmainz.
Located within Naturpark Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal, visitors can reach the site via multiple hiking trails including the 130-kilometer Hainichlandweg.
The building survived proposed demolition through advocacy from local writers and newspapers, leading to its preservation as a historical monument.
