Klever Tor, Medieval city gate in Xanten, Germany
The Klever Tor features two cylindrical towers known as owl towers that flank the main entrance, with a square tower forming the inner gate structure.
Built in 1393, the Klever Tor remained standing when other gates were demolished in the early 19th century, following a city council decision in 1843.
The gate displays the coats of arms from Kleve and Cologne, two cities that shared administrative responsibilities for Xanten during the 14th century.
The inner gate section contains three rental apartments that visitors can book through the city information office for holiday accommodations.
The original substructure from 1393 remains intact, while the upper sections required reconstruction following damage during World War II.
