To the east of the city are the fortified city gates called The Doors of The Germans. It was used as a bridge from the 13th century to the 20th century. One of the greatest examples of medieval military architecture, these city gates make you wonder about the troubled times they were built in. The building is imposing and the bridge over the Seilleis an architectural wonder. Highlights include:

• The 2 towers that are relatively new
• The esplanade walk
• The inner and the outer gate
• The bridge
• The river view

• Prepare to walk 10 minutes from the cathedral.
• Carry an information leaflet, in case of absence of tour guides.
