Talburgtor, Gate tower in Münchner Altstadt, Germany

The Talburgtor stands as a fortified tower within Munich's Old Town, featuring characteristic medieval stonework and defensive architectural elements.

Built in the late 12th century as one of five city gates, the Talburgtor marked the eastern boundary of medieval Munich's initial fortification walls.

The tower structure now houses the Toy Museum, connecting Munich's medieval past with modern cultural exhibits in the heart of the city.

Located near Marienplatz, visitors can reach the Talburgtor through multiple public transportation options and combine it with Old Town Hall tours.

The tower underwent reconstruction in 1972, replicating the late Gothic style from the 1470s design by architect Jörg von Halspach.
