Obertor Neuss, Medieval city gate in Neuss, Germany
The Obertor features two circular towers constructed from basalt and tuff stone materials, forming part of the original city fortification system.
Built in the 13th century, this gate served as one of six entrances to Neuss and withstood the siege by Charles the Bold in 1474.
The structure houses the medieval history department of the Clemens Sels Museum, displaying artifacts from Roman and Medieval periods.
Located in the southern section of Neuss historical center, the gate connects to the main museum building through an elevated walkway.
The Obertor remains the sole preserved gate from the medieval fortress wall that once protected the city with six defensive entrances.
