Wertachbrucker Tor, Medieval defensive tower in Augsburg, Germany
The Wertachbrucker Tor features a block structure with an octagonal mezzanine and a cylinder topped with Tuscan order corner pilasters.
Originally constructed around 1370 as a customs gate near the Wertach River, the tower underwent significant modifications by architect Elias Holl in 1605.
The Schreiner Guild of Augsburg maintains the tower, preserving historical documents, craft exhibitions, and traditional guild banners within its seven levels.
The interior space accommodates events for up to 30 people, with multiple levels connected by original narrow staircases and equipped with modern facilities.
Napoleon entered Augsburg through this gate in 1805, marking a significant moment in the city's military history.
