Jakobstor, Medieval gate tower in Regensburg, Germany.
The Jakobstor features Gothic architectural elements with pointed arches, stone masonry work, and defensive structural components integrated into its design.
Built during the Middle Ages, this tower formed an essential part of Regensburg's fortification system, controlling access through one of the main city gates.
The tower represents Bavaria's dedication to architectural preservation, as protected by the 1973 Monument Protection Law and maintained through state initiatives.
Visitors can reach the Jakobstor by following the medieval streets of Regensburg's old town, where it stands as a marker of historical exploration routes.
The structure maintains its original medieval stonework and architectural details, serving as a study subject for understanding defensive architecture of its period.
